Ant "External Tool Configurations" Programatically [message #1843472]

Cheers,

I have been using build.xml to run Epsilon tasks (generation and validation) and it works fine. It used to give me the error of failure because the tasks were not being recognized, but I read somewhere that to fix that I had to change the JRE options in the "External Tools Configurations", which did solve the problem. But now, I am running the build.xml from Java code, and I keep getting that "failed to create task of type" error in all the the Epsilon tasks...

Does anyone know how to define these configurations programatically (from Java)? (I'm using ProjectHelper to run the build.xml from the code)

Thanks in advance,
Bests,

Miguel

Hi Miguel,

Are you trying to run your build.xml from an Eclipse plugin or from a standalone Java application?

Best,
Dimitris

You can try this "Right-click the Ant file that you want to run, and select Run As > External Tools Configurations.... In the launch attributes window, open the JRE tab and select Run in the same JRE as the Workspace. Click Apply and then Run."
