Description Dave Henderson CLA 2011-12-21 09:52:23 EST 
Build Identifier: M20110909-1335

Somewhere between the upgrade from Ant 1.7.1 to 1.8.2, it appears the "bin" directory was dropped from the org.apache.ant plug-in.

The scripts contained within are handy for running ant builds from the command-line when a separately-installed version of Ant is not available.

Note that this is in contrast to the Ant plug-in's about.html file which states the following:

"The Ant binary code in ant.jar and the scripts ant, ant.bat, ant.cmd, antenv.cmd, antRun, antRun.bat, antRun.pl, complete-ant-cmd.pl, envset.cmd, lcp.bat, runant.pl, runant.py and runrc.cmd are included with the plug-in with no modifications."

This implies that the bin directory was supposed to be included.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Browse to the plugins/org.apache.ant_1.8.2.v20110505-1300 folder within an Eclipse 3.7.1 install.
2. Look for the "bin" directory
3. Notice it isn't there :)

It looks like org.apache.ant was moved to Orbit as per Bug 336370. It's likely that the bin folder was simply never committed to Orbit, as it happens to be the output folder for the project.

Yep, it appears the bin/ folder was removed. Perhaps we ignore that folder by default in Eclipse projects. I'll put together another Orbit contribution and start the CQ process, etc.

CQ approved. Scripts released into Orbit.

Can this go in 3.7.2?

I opened bug 369100 to track release into 3.7.2.
