RE: [platform-ant-dev] Apache Ant as feature
|
Its
for Pre 2.1 Eclipse (WSAD5).
We
have code we want to deliver as plugins (ant tasks) that are dependent on Ant
1.5.1 (as you stated its been around for a while). Thus we would also like the
user's install of WSAD (Eclipse 2.0.2) to be upgraded to Ant
1.5.1.
Thanks.
Is this an exercise for future upgrades or just for Pre
2.1 Eclipse? Eclipse's org.apache.ant in
the 2.1 stream has been 1.5.1 for some time now. Darins

Subject:
[platform-ant-dev] Apache Ant as feature
|
I am attempting to
create a feature that upgrades the version of org.apache.ant from 1.4.1 to
1.5.1. Everything is working to automatically install/update the feature and the
plugin. The plugin, itself, is just pulled from dev.eclipse.org's CVS.
Now the interesting part - I would like, as part of this feature install,
to automatically upgrade the preferences of org.eclipse.ant.core to point to the
new version of Apache Ant. Based on my initial research I have concluded that I
should do this via the IInstallHandler API. So I
have a couple of questions: - If I would like the same
behavior, in addition to upgrading preferences, of the DefaultInstallHandler
(*internal* package) do I need to copy it to not be dependent on internal
packages? - Why does org.eclipse.ant.core
keep absolute location paths to Ant? Couldn't this be a variable so the
org.eclipse.ant.core will just utilize the currently running version of the
org.apache.ant plugin? - How can I update
preferences during a feature install? Is it as simple as
'AntCorePlugin.getPlugin().getPluginPreferences()' or will the install handler's
classloader not find plugin classes? If this isn't the correct forum
for some/all of the above questions, your guidance in which forum to post is
greatly appreciated. Thanks. -Naresh
