Automatically generate Ant buildfile.xml [message #244931] Tue, 25 May 2004 11:31 Go to next message
Eclipse UserFriend
Hello!

I'm new to Eclipse and never used Ant before, but I think both are nice
projects :) .
I just want to know whether it is possible to generate a build.xml for
my project using some wizards and/or the existing settings of my project.

Thx in advance,
Hero Wunders

If you project is a plugin, right click on the plugin.xml >PDE Tools>Create
Ant Build File

Hmm, my project is not a plugin, but an application.
I created an empty build.xml and its icon is an Ant-symbol, but there
are not any special menu items (beside the possibility to open it in the
Ant Editor, but that does not help me).

I forgot to say that I use M8. In another post I described why (answer
on Eric Rizzo's display oddness problem).

Again: Thanks in advance,
Hero Wunders

You will need to write the buildfile yourself.
I believe I have heard of third-party plugins that can help you out
(generating a plugin.xml from the project setup) but this is a feature that
is not yet support in the Eclipse SDK
