Platform independent Ant buildfile for a plugin [message #293602]

Hi,

does anybody have any experience in creating a platform independet
buildfile for an Eclipse plugin?

I am developing a plugin which depends on SWT. So if the plugin is built
on a Windows system it has to be compiled with
org.eclipse.swt.win32.win32.x86_*.jar. If it is built on any other
system then the appropriate library of SWT has to be used.

Can this be done in one build file, or is it more common to use one
build file for each system?

Thanks in advance.

Peter

Within eclipse there are examples of our attempts at this within a single
buildfile.

See org.eclipse.ant.ui/buildfiles/buildExtraJAR.xml
Not necessarily pretty but it does work :-)
