PDE: Adding to ant's classpath [message #228038]

I've generated a build script from PDE export, however this script
contains a reference to "pde.exportFeatures". When I try to run the
script I (predictably) get the error:

Could not create task or type of type: pde.exportFeatures.

Where is the task pde.exportFeatures (for that matter - any of the PDE
related ant tasks) and how do I tell ant where to find these?

Many thanks.

James

I am assuming you are using 3.0 (relatively latest?)

You will need to perform this build in the same VM as Eclipse as I believe
the pde.exportFeatures task requires the eclipse runtime to function.

See the JRE tab of the Ant launch configuration for the build

I have a further question regarding this. The ant script seems to kick
off pde.exportFeatures and then continue, since the next task is dependent
on the output of the exportFeatures task - this doesn't work too well.
What is the standard approach for dealing with this problem?

I believe they are using an Eclipse Job and then immediately returning while
the Job is running in the background.

You should file a bug report against PDE with your problem as you really
want to wait on this task

Sorry I am not more help,
