Hi !

I'm trying to generate a build.xml file for à plugin from a ant script.
Here's my script:

<project name="generateBuildFiles" default="createBuildFile">
<target name="createBuildFile">
<eclipse.buildScript elements="plugins@my.project.to.build"
buildDirectory="/home/........./myWorkspace" />
</target>
</project>

I call this ant script by the command:

export LAUNCHER_PLUGIN_PATH=$ECLIPSE_INSTALL_DIR/plugins/org.eclips e.equinox.launcher_1.0.101.R34x_v20081125.jar

java -jar $LAUNCHER_PLUGIN_PATH -application org.eclipse.ant.core.antRunner -v -buildfile ./generateBuildFiles.xml

I have the following trace:
Buildfile: /home/........../generateBuildFiles.xml
createBuildFile:
BUILD SUCCESSFUL
Total time: 160 milliseconds

But nothing change in my plugin directtory nor my workspace Mad

Any idea ?
My aim is to have a jar file for my plugin from a command line script.
Thanks!

The element attribute needs to be "plugin@..." not "plugins".

Also:
- The "my.project.to.build" needs to be the Bundle-SymbolicName, not the
project name.
- You need to provide the location of all the other bundles that your
bundle will transitively require. Generally, setting the attribute
baseLocation="${eclipse.home}" might be enough.
