I'd like to work with whomever tackles this as I may have some ant tasks to
contribute which could help build Eclipse projects which have dependencies on
other Eclipse projects.

Deferred to post 3.0

Comment 3 Adam Kiezun 2004-05-07 17:34:40 EDT

i just spent some time looking for exactly this functionality - i wanted to
create an ant buildfile for someone who does not use eclipse.

and i don't feel like writting one from scratch myself

+1 here

Comment 4 Darin Swanson 2004-08-26 13:18:03 EDT

Consider in 3.1

eclipse2ant Plugin

As requested by Jared/Darin, I upload my eclipse2ant plugin. It is a possible
implementation of an ant export filter. Hereby I release it under EPL.

Thanks for your interest :-)

Thanks Richard. 
We are heading into the Thanksgiving break in the United States but we will 
soon "dive" into reviewing your contribution.

Comment 7 Darin Swanson 2004-12-10 11:48:43 EST

We have received permission to proceed from the EMO and the PMC.
We will move forward after the release of M4 (Dec 17)

Comment 8 Darin Swanson 2005-02-04 13:42:23 EST

Moving to M6...sorry for the slow progress...but progress is being made :-)

Comment 9 Darin Swanson 2005-02-23 20:52:30 EST

An alpha cut has been released and will be in next weeks integration build (in 
time for EclispeCon!) so I would appreciate the "earlier the better" feedback 
from the CC list.

Comment 10 Marcello Teodori 2005-03-16 11:19:54 EST

from the sample build files on the original web site I can see that the new include mechanism in ant 1.6 
is not used, could it be possible to have an option to do so?

If using the import task in the generated buildfile is important to you please 
log a separate bug request for that issue.

Remaining items:
ensure correct error handling/reporting in exception cases

Comment 12 Darin Swanson 2005-04-06 19:30:59 EDT

I am going to mark this as fixed in M6
I know there are likely bugs but we will report these separately as the 
majority of the feature is implemented.

Thanks again Richard.

Comment 13 Darin Swanson 2005-04-06 19:31:45 EDT

Please verify Kevin.

I encourage the CC list to stress test this to find problems before we ship 
3.1. Thanks.

Comment 14 Kevin Barnes 2005-04-08 09:34:46 EDT

Comment 15 Richard . 2005-04-23 02:25:36 EDT

I found a problem: Existing build files with empty lines get overwritten without
warning. 
Fix in method AntBuildfileExportPage.existsBuildFile():

Replace
    if (warning.startsWith(line))
with
    if (!line.equals("") && warning.startsWith(line))

Comment 16 Darin Swanson 2005-04-23 08:40:55 EDT

Thanks Richard. Fixed applied.

In the future please open new bug reports for specific problems...easier for the
community to track the fixes etc.
