Specifying clean target to headless PDE build [message #323452]

Howdy,

Is this legal to pass -Dtarget=clean to a headless PDE build invoked via
antRunner?

java -jar " path_to_org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.0.1.R33x_v20070828.ja r "
-application org.eclipse.ant.core.antRunner
-buildfile
" path_to_org.eclipse.pde.build_3.3.2.R331_v20071019\scripts\b uild.xml "
-Dtarget=clean -Dbuilder="build_config_folder"

I'm getting this error message:

D:\Temp\build_test\allElements.xml:12: The following error occurred while
executing this line:
Target "clean" does not exist in the project "Generic Build Targets".

Looking at the build files the clean target in build.xml attempts to set
property named "target" to value "cleanElements" which is the target to be
invoked in generic targets, this fails as "target" is already set from the
command line to "clean" and thus get the above error.

Thanks for any input,
V.

Try the following :

....\build.xml" clean,main -Dbuilder="build_config_folder"

The main build.xml for pdeBuild calls targets in the genericTargets.xml through
the allElements.xml. The target parameter is used to specify the target to run,
and the value needs to be a target that is present in genericTargets.xml script.
