This is the code of my build.xml:


    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <project name="compile-game" default="compile" basedir=".">
      <property name="build.compiler" value="org.eclipse.jdt.core.JDTCompilerAdapter"/>
      <target name="compile" description="build class files">
      	<echo message = "Starting compilation." level = "info"/>
        <eclipse.refreshLocal resource="mygame/src" depth="infinite"/>
        <eclipse.incrementalBuild project="mygame" kind="incremental"/>
        <echo message = "Compile complete." level = "info"/>
      </target>
    </project>



This is the output when I do /home/xxxxxx/eclipse/eclipse -application org.eclipse.ant.core.antRunner -f build.xml

Buildfile: build.xml

compile:
[echo] Starting compilation.
[echo] Compile complete.
BUILD SUCCESSFUL

BUILD SUCCESSFUL
Total time: 1 second


This happens even if I put nonsense in the options... like a wrong project name. It also SUCCESS when I put wrong code in my java files.

I am missing something? I can compile from Eclipse but I want to do this from command line so I can integrate with other tool.

What I expect from this is that if I have an error in the project, this will fail. And if it doesn't, it will update the .class files inside the project. Also I'd like to be able to run and/or export to jar the updated code from command line but that's other step Smile

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

First, this forum is about setting Eclipse up and using it, not about
general programming issues whether for Java, C/C++, Python, Ant, etc.

Still, to help out, ...

This is the entire code of build.xml?

When I look at your ant code and your problem statement, I'm puzzled as
to why I don't see you using the ant <javac task in your code. It's what
compiles Java code.

Your best and fastest bet is to get some examples of folks' existing
build.xml, copying then tweaking them for your use.

And ask questions about ant on stackoverflow.com setting the ant and
java tags.

Cheers

Hi, thanks for your answer.

Yes, that was the whole Ant code. I thought it was going to work but finally I decided to try a "normal" ant file (one with multiple targets: clean, compile, jar, etc.). It finally worked, even if I'm not sure if it works incremental as Eclipse does.

I'll have your suggestions about asking questions in mind, thanks.
