Is there a way to capture key strokes in eclipse and run them as a script?
I have three eclipse projects that interact, and I need to clean, build, etc the projects in a certain order. How can I automate this so I click one button and the steps are run?
My tasks;
1. Clean projects A, B, C
2. Build project A
3. Run "java myporgram.main input.txt" in project B (depends on build of A) to create output files in B
4. Build project B (depends on build of project A)
5. Create jar of project B
6. Clean project A
7. Build project A (depends on B.jar)
8. Build project C
9. Run Junit tests in project C
I googled for some answers, and found references to Monkey, which is no longer available, and Ant. However, I am not sure if Ant is what I need, and I have not found a good tutorial that helps with this problem.
Thanks,
Mark

There are a number of approaches, and sometimes religion is involved.
Ant is one of them. I would suggest doing Lars Vogel's tutorial on your
way to deciding.
http://www.vogella.de/articles/ApacheAnt/article.html
I also have a page of rather jumbled personal notes on this topic.
