Ant build-user file [message #292737] Tue, 11 October 2005 21:47 Go to next message

I've exported the project's and file and it generated also a
build-user.xml that is references in the build.xml as an entity.
Unfortunately the ant editor doesn't open this build-user.xml. Is this a
known issue about the ant editor that's being worked on?

Can you explain what you mean by "the ant editor doesn't open this
build-user.xml"?

If the build file has this:

<!DOCTYPE project [<!ENTITY buildfile SYSTEM "file:./build-user.xml">]>
<!-- WARNING: Eclipse autogenerated file.
Any modifications will be overwritten.
Please edit build-user.xml instead.
-->
<project basedir="." default="build" name="CSAIEJB">
&buildfile;

the build-user.xml file has only the various targets (it's not even a
xml file as it doesn't have the root element). So, when I drag and drop
the file in the Ant view it said <Unable to parse as an Ant buildfile>
(on the better hand the build.xml at least contains all targets both
internal and external from build-user.xml). However the external targets
are not editable with the Ant editor (press second button and it doesn't
list the ant editor in the Open With list).

Right...this is one of the reasons Ant has moved to using the import
task...the imported build files are fully fledged Ant buildfiles on their
own.
Eclipse's export will need to follow.

Window>Preferences>General>Editors>File Associations
Add the Ant editor as an associated editor for *.xml
