ANT Run [message #778291] Thu, 12 January 2012 02:47 Go to next message

Is it possible to run a command on the commandline before and after running the ant-file?
I need that to make some little changes in the file system, but don't want to write this in the build-file.

You can create a program launch configuration. Look at http://help.eclipse.org/helios/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.platform.doc.user%2Ftasks%2Ftasks-exttools-running.htm

I also thinked about that.
But then i can not use the ant run from eclipse.
Or is it possible to start the external launch config before the ant run?

OK. I understand now. You could have a wrapper ant file which calls the command line before executing your original ant file.

It is, but you would have to manually launch them, there is no automated way to do this.

There are some options:

1)
You could create a shell script / bat file that performs the command line action / calls ant / performs command line action and call that (the shell script / bat file) as an external tool within Eclipse

2)
As Satyam mentioned you could create a build file that performs the command line actions and include your other build file in that one - that way you don't have to add file system ops to your original build file. See http://ant.apache.org/manual/Tasks/include.html for more info about including build files
