How do configure ANT PDE build for plugin which consumes e(fx)clipse runtime [message #1288609]

Hi,
We are developing a Eclipse plugin using JavaFX (Java7) provided by e(fx)clipse runtime bundles. While the plugin builds fine in Eclipse by e(fx)clipse design time tools. We are not able to figure out a easy way to build it in command line with ANT PDE builder. (All the examples are using Maven/tycho build)

Any suggestion on how to configure ANT PDE build for plugin using JavaFX on Java7?

Thanks,

Danny Ju

Forgot to mention we are using e(fx)clipse 0.9.0 on Kepler and Java7.

Hi,

Well the problem is that javafx is not on the classpath so one solution
would be to add a compiletime dependency in your build.properties
pointing to the jfxrt.jar.

The other option is to use a *different* java-install for the
commandline build where jfxrt.jar is in part of jre/lib/ext but make
sure that is not the java-install used by the IDE or you run in strange
problems where e(fx)clipse constructs a wrong classpath!

Is there a reason you can not use maven-tycho? I found it much more
reliable than PDE-Build.

Hi Tom,
Adding jars.extra.classpath = lib/jfxrt.jar to build.properties works.
Thanks for the hint.

>> Is there a reason you can not use maven-tycho
We have large number of plugins still built with ANT, will take some time to convert.

Thanks again,

Danny
