Java Project from Existing Ant Buildfile problems [message #297429]

Fri, 13 January 2006 10:51

I am attempting to define a new project from an existing ant buildfile.
I have built this project from the command line with ant and the build.xml
with no errors.

In eclipse, I select:
New Project -> Java Project from Existing Ant Buildfile

Then this is next:

Select javac declaration to use to define project:
<>javac task found in target "compileCore"
<>javac task found in target "compileTomcat"
<>javac task found in target "compileAxis"

I select the first (not really knowing which to select)

Everything seems to go well (no error or warning messages), but something
is amiss. There are a bazillion errors. Lots of things like:
The import org.apache.axis cannot be resolved.

What needs to be done?

It would appear that your buildfile is more complex than the build file
project creation code can handle.

Selection of the javac task sets the buildpath for the project that is
created.
With multiple javacs, and with the current limitation of setting the
buildpath from only one javac declaration, you are likely missing many
required elements for a complete buildpath for your project.

You can use the creation support and then add as required to the buildpath
of the created project.

What do you mean by 'creation support'?

What you did: define a new project from an existing ant buildfile.
