How do I use the Eclipse compiler from within a standalone ANT? [message #207981]

Hi,

We're using serialization and are running into problems loading a
serialized dataset because the continuous build uses javac and the
developer builds typically use Eclipse.

Aside from removing serialization (on the list of things to fix but not
high), what are my options?

I'd like to just be able to use the JDT's compiler directly but don't
know how to set it up. Googled a bit for a solution but nothings's
worked so far. Now I cry "Uncle!" and ask the group.

If it helps, I'm using Eclipse 3.1RC4.

Set the magic Ant property "build.compiler":
<property name="build.compiler"
value="org.eclipse.jdt.core.JDTCompilerAdapter"/>

To use this type of build in a separate JRE from Eclipse you will need to
add the org.eclipse.jdt.core_3.1.0.jar and the jdtCompilerAdapter.jar it
contains to the Ant runtime classpath. There is no such requirement is you
run your Ant build in the same JRE as Eclipse (see the JRE tab for your Ant
build within Eclipse).
