Resource class not found while exporting plugin using ant [message #911012]

Hi,
if I build the plugin using ant (during product export) I get the following error message:

.../.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.pde.core/temp/org.eclipse.pde.container.feature/compile.org.eclipse.pde.container.feature.xml:9: The following error occurred while executing this line:
.../build.xml:301: The following error occurred while executing this line:
.../build.xml:218: The following error occurred while executing this line:
.../customBuildCallbacks.xml:57: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/eclipse/sapphire/modeling/Resource

where line 57 is the sapphire task:

<sapphire src="src" dest=".resources"/>

I was searching for hours but I did not get a clue what's the cause. Any hint what's wrong with this?

What do you use as the classpath in the <taskdef> where Sapphire tasks are defined in Ant? I appears that that classpath is missing org.eclipse.sapphire.modeling plugin jar.

Hi Konstantin,
the relevant parts of the customBuildCallbacks are:

    <path id="sapphire.classpath">
      <fileset dir="${eclipse.home}/plugins" includes="*.jar"/>
    </path>

    <taskdef 
      resource="org/eclipse/sapphire/sdk/build/antlib.xml"
      classpathref="sapphire.classpath"/>

with having all Sapphire plugins in in the eclipse installation. And the path does not contain any spaces...

Regards

Could you try dumping the computed sapphire.classpath?

Hmm... I see Sapphire jars in there. The only lead that I have is perhaps something is getting tripped up by the length of the classpath. I would be tempted to tweak that filter on sapphire.classpath to pickup fewer jars. Maybe start with "org.eclipse.sapphire*.jar" and see if that changes anything?

Hi Konstantin,
that didn't help much. I changed it to "org.eclipse.sapphire.*.jar" which shortened the path.
Do have a hint on how to get more debug info during the ant run or how to debug the problem in general?
Cheers

You may find the following article useful. It has some details regarding running and debugging pde build.

Another thing that might be helpful is to compare your build to a working build. You can try building Sapphire locally from the source in git. Several plugins in Sapphire build use the Ant task that is giving you problems.

Hi,
finally I solved the issue but I still do not know the root cause. The solution was to create a new workspace, import the bundles and run the build from there.
So for some reason the .metadata of my original workspace got corrupted.
If I have a little bit of time I will dig a little bit deeper to see what plugin/setting cause the problem.

Cheers
