Hello everyone!
Is it possible to pass any arguments to the transformation to invoke any
ant build-files during/after transformation?
I generate several files which after generating are used by an antfile. It
would be great, if I could invoke the ant automatically within the
jet-transformation.
I hope anyone can understand what I mean. For a java-project for example
it is possible to define arguments in the run configurations - I hope
something like that ist also possible for jet!
Thank you for any help.

Thank you, Paul.
My first idea was to write a ant-file which would start both ant-tasks -
for the jet-transformation and for the other.
But I wasn't able to get the jet-ant-task running, so I tried to do it
another way.
But I guess, I should try it the other way again.

Can you tell me which .jar-libs I need to invoke the antbuild?
I get several Errors and I've got the feeling, it won't work.
So far I use jetant.jar, org.eclipse.jet.jar, ant.jar and antlr.jar
Any thoughts?
Thank you,
Yasmin

ok, I think I begin to understand.
Is it possible to use the pde-build?

Sorry to ask such silly questions...
Please forget the PDE-question.
If I start the buildfile like you suggested, I get the Error "could not
find transformation with id..."
Now my question is where the transformId is set. In the plugin.xml? I
can't find it.
If I start the generator within eclipse, the Id in the run configurations
is the same I used in the build-file.
