Hi.
I am finally starting to do more advanced stuff however i need the answers
to the below questions:
1) is it possible to run jet2 from ant outside of eclipse in an automated
build for example ?
2) I need to package all my transformations as plugins so the
transformation users do not have to load gazillion projects. Do i have to
use tag lib ? i dont need them specifically for now.
3) related to 2. If i am going to have multiple jet projects. How do you
"chain" the transformation of one transform to another in another plugin ?
I want the user to just have the plugins installed in his work space and
launch one transform. Now this transform has to be able to load its
dependent transformation s

There is an ANT task:
<jet.transform transformid="..." source="...workspace relative path to
input..."/>
It requires Eclipse, so you will have to use the Eclpise ant runner:
eclipse -application org.eclipse.ant.core.antRunner ...Ant command-line
arguments...

Create a feature, and include your JET plug-ins. Deploy the feature to your
target workbenches - update sites work nicely for deploying features.

You need something to act as the 'master' transformation. There are a number
of possibilities:
1) Use a JET transformation, that using <c:invokeTransform> to call the
other transformations. c:invokeTransform is a bit weird - it doesn't load a
model, it merely passes the model already loaded (along with the JET XPath
variables) to the invoked transformation. To make this work, the 'master'
transformation must use c:load to load the model, and the invoked
transformation must know about variable used by c:load.
2) Use the above mentioned ANT task, and an ANT build script.
3) Write some Java code, and invoke JET transformations via
JET2Platform.runTransformOnResource (if the model is in an Eclipse
IResource), runTransformOnObject (if the model is already loaded into
memory), or runTransformOnString (if the model is an XML document in a
string).
I'd like to make option 1 easier, but time is running out on this release.
Let me know which you choose, and how it works out.
