| Re: Creating Ant Build files for Xtext projects [message #648210 is a reply to message #634240] |

Hello,
I have just the same problem.
My xtext project builds fine within eclipse, but not using ant.
I have "exported" the dsl project as an ant buildfile. The export dialog states
| Quote: | There is a build cycle in the source directories of project "MyDSL". Exported Ant buildfile will not compile your sources correctly until you eliminate the cycle: src -> src-gen -> src
|
Nevertheless the generated ant buildfile looks ok at the first glance. But running the build.xml as Ant Build... the java compiler complains
Buildfile: mydsl\build.xml
clean:
[delete] Deleting directory mydsl\bin
build-subprojects:
init:
[mkdir] Created dir: mydsl\bin
[copy] Copying 7 files to mydsl\bin
[copy] Copying 6 files to mydsl\bin
build-project:
[echo] mydsl: mydsl\build.xml
[javac] Compiling 6 source files to mydsl\bin
[javac] mydsl\src\mydsl\MyDslRuntimeModule.java:9: cannot find symbol
[javac] symbol : class AbstractMyDslRuntimeModule
[javac] location: package mydsl
[javac] public class MyDslRuntimeModule extends mydsl.AbstractMyDslRuntimeModule {
[..]
The reason seems to be that the class AbstractMyDslRuntimeModule is located under the src-gen tree which is not yet compiled.
The build.xml files looks like
[..]
<target depends="init" name="build-project">
<echo message="${ant.project.name}: ${ant.file}"/>
<javac debug="true" debuglevel="${debuglevel}" destdir="bin" source="${source}" target="${target}">
<src path="src"/>
<classpath refid="mydsl.classpath"/>
</javac>
<javac debug="true" debuglevel="${debuglevel}" destdir="bin" source="${source}" target="${target}">
<src path="src-gen"/>
<classpath refid="mydsl.classpath"/>
</javac>
</target>
[..]
Here javac seems to be executed two times, first time for src, second time for src-gen. But swaping the order of those two build steps ends in a similar problem. Some classes under src-gen have dependencies to classes under src and vice versa.
How can I get this working? Can somebody give me a hint?
Regards,
Jonatan
PS: I want to build and publish my dsl plugins headless using hudson.

Hello,
since nobody seems to know how to automate Xtext builds for headless ci systems I give the answer myself.
But my soultion is only a work around, it does not feel like the best way.
First of all I have generated the ant buildfiles as stated above. But these auto generated files have a couple of drawbacks. Especially ant seems to be unable to handle multiple source folders. To work around the source cycle I just copy all the sources from src to src-gen within the init build step. Additionally I added a build target to run the GenerateMyDSL workflow to generate all the xtext stuff.
My ant buildfile for mydsl project now looks like this:
<project basedir="." default="build" name="mydsl">
<property environment="env"/>
<property name="ECLIPSE_HOME" value="path/to/eclipse"/>
<property name="debuglevel" value="source,lines,vars"/>
<property name="target" value="1.5"/>
<property name="source" value="1.5"/>
<path id="Plug-in Dependencies.libraryclasspath">
[..]
</path>
<path id="mydsl.classpath">
<pathelement location="bin"/>
<path refid="Plug-in Dependencies.libraryclasspath"/>
</path>
<target name="init-gen">
<mkdir dir="bin"/>
<copy includeemptydirs="false" todir="bin">
<fileset dir="src">
<exclude name="**/*.launch"/>
<exclude name="**/*.java"/>
</fileset>
</copy>
</target>
<target depends="init-gen" name="gen">
<java classname="org.eclipse.emf.mwe2.launch.runtime.Mwe2Launcher" classpathref="mydsl.classpath" fork="true">
<arg value="src/mydsl/GenerateMyDsl.mwe2"/>
</java>
</target>
<target name="init-build">
<mkdir dir="bin"/>
<copy includeemptydirs="false" todir="bin">
<fileset dir="src-gen">
<exclude name="**/*.launch"/>
<exclude name="**/*.java"/>
</fileset>
</copy>
<copy includeemptydirs="false" todir="src-gen">
<fileset dir="src">
<include name="**/*.java"/>
</fileset>
</copy>
</target>
<target name="clean">
<delete dir="bin"/>
<delete dir="src-gen/*"/>
</target>
<target depends="clean" name="cleanall"/>
<target depends="gen,build-project" name="build"/>
<target depends="init-build" name="build-project">
<echo message="${ant.project.name}: ${ant.file}"/>
<javac debug="true" debuglevel="${debuglevel}" destdir="bin" source="${source}" target="${target}">
<src path="src-gen"/>
<classpath refid="mydsl.classpath"/>
</javac>
</target>
</project>
With this ant buildfile I am able to generate and compile the mydsl project. The next step is to build the generator project. One can let eclipse generate the ant buildfile for this project as well. But it will not work without some tweeks. Additionally I added a build target to generate the runable generator jar. One can get the full create_run_jar target by simply do the export manually once. Within the export wizzard one can issue the creation of the ant buildfile for that export. But I had to tweek this one as well. This is my build.xml for the generator project:
<project basedir="." default="build" name="mydsl.generator">
<property environment="env"/>
<property name="ECLIPSE_HOME" value="path/to/eclipse"/>
<property name="debuglevel" value="source,lines,vars"/>
<property name="target" value="1.6"/>
<property name="source" value="1.6"/>
<path id="Plug-in Dependencies.libraryclasspath">
<pathelement location="../mydsl/bin"/>
[..]
</path>
<path id="mydsl.generator.classpath">
<pathelement location="bin"/>
<path refid="Plug-in Dependencies.libraryclasspath"/>
</path>
<target name="init">
<mkdir dir="bin"/>
<copy includeemptydirs="false" todir="bin">
<fileset dir="src">
<exclude name="**/*.launch"/>
<exclude name="**/*.java"/>
</fileset>
</copy>
</target>
<target name="clean">
<delete dir="bin"/>
</target>
<target depends="clean" name="cleanall"/>
<target depends="build-subprojects,build-project" name="build"/>
<target name="build-subprojects"/>
<target depends="init" name="build-project">
<echo message="${ant.project.name}: ${ant.file}"/>
<javac debug="true" debuglevel="${debuglevel}" destdir="bin" source="${source}" target="${target}">
<src path="src"/>
<classpath refid="mydsl.generator.classpath"/>
</javac>
</target>
<target name="create_run_jar">
<jar destfile="../MyDslGenerator.jar">
<manifest>
<attribute name="Main-Class" value="org.eclipse.jdt.internal.jarinjarloader.JarRsrcLoader"/>
<attribute name="Rsrc-Main-Class" value="mydsl.generator.MyDSLLauncher"/>
<attribute name="Class-Path" value="."/>
<attribute name="Rsrc-Class-Path" value="./ [..]"/>
</manifest>
<zipfileset src="../jar-in-jar-loader.zip"/>
<fileset dir="../mydsl.generator/bin"/>
<fileset dir="../mydsl/bin"/>
[..]
</jar>
</target>
</project>
Now I am able to use hudson to automatically generate, build and deploy the mydsl generator. The next step will be to generate the deployable feature for eclipse as well. But this step seems to be more tricky, because the pde.exportFeatures can only be executed within an eclipse workspace.
Regards,
Jonatan

Since the main issue is the src -> src-gen -> src dependency, you can resolve that as follows for the grammar plugin. Create a file call customBuildCallbacks.xml in the grammar plugin. Put the following in there:
Make sure you change <arg value="src/org/xtext/example/..." > to what is appropriate for your grammar plugin.

In the build.properties file of your grammar plugin, put the following:
customBuildCallbacks = customBuildCallbacks.xml
customBuildCallbacks.failonerror = true
customBuildCallbacks.inheritall = true
Now you can create a fourth plugin called build or something which builds the grammar, generator, and ui plugins. Each time, the .mwe2 launcher will run on your grammar (.xtext) file to create the necessary java code. Hope this helps.
