Re: [eclipse-dev] Using the PDE eclipse.buildScript ant task

Hi Sam,

for future reference, please ask questions
such as this on the newsgroups:

http://www.eclipse.org/newsgroups/index.html

From the information you have provided,
I would check these to start:

1.  The directory specified for ${buildDirectory}
should contain a "plugins" and "features" directory
which contain the source for your build.
2.  "com.timesys.test-feature" is the
value for the id attribute in it's feature.xml.  If the id is actually
"com.timesys.test" the value for the ${elements} property should
be changed.

Kim & Pascal,

  Thanks very much.  This has helped, but even with
the references, I'm having difficulaty getting the
ant tasks to work properly.  Documentation (online
and in the code) is rather sparse, and I'm hoping
that I'm just missing something obvious...

  I'm trying to use the following build.xml and the
PDE ant tasks to regenerate a build file:

  <project name="Test" default="main">
  <target name="main" description="Generates project
build scripts">
          <eclipse.buildScript elements="${elements}"
buildDirectory="${buildDirectory}" />
  </target>
  </project>

  I'm running using the Eclipse antRunner application as
shown below:

  C:/j2sdk1.4.2/bin/java.exe \
                
-cp c:/Sandbox/component/eclipse/win32/3.0.0/startup.jar \
                
org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main \
                
-application org.eclipse.ant.core.antRunner \
                
-Delements=feature@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx-feature \
                
-DbuildDirectory=c:/Sandbox/component/ebt/eclipse3/module/test

  No matter what I try, I can't seem to get the task to run
locate the element to build:

  Buildfile: c:\Sandbox\component\ebt\eclipse3\module\ide\build.xml

  main:

  BUILD FAILED
  C:\Sandbox\component\ebt\eclipse3\module\ide\build.xml:3:
  org.eclipse.core.runtime.CoreException: Cannot find feature:
  com.timesys.test-feature.

  Total time: 0 seconds

  Any thoughts or comments?  Is there someplace else I can be
looking for information on this task?
