Hi all,
I have develpoed a full J2EE project using MyEclipse, and now need to deliver it to the customer.
The customer wish to be able to build the application all the way to creating the .ear file using an Ant task.
Is there a way to have MyEclipse create the ant task for me according to my existing project ?
Thanks, Ehud.
MyEclipse Support team:
I’m your user as well. As I know, lots of people have this requirement, and I’m thinking it is not a big implementation. Could you please let us know if you are planning to have this functionality in your futhure release?
Thanks
Paul
Paul,
We have been evaluating adding this for a while now and the problem was that MyEclipse’s project model supports concepts and functionality that is not (easily?) translatable to an Ant script.In addition to that, we will be changing the underlying project model for our 5.0 release which completely changes the approach we would have taken. We will evaluate this addition at some point after the 5.0 release.
Believe me, if this wasn’t a huge undertaking that is going to sideline a lot of work, we would have done it by now.

Ehud,
MyEclipse does not offer Ant script generation at this time, sorry for the inconvenience.IBM Websphere Studio Application Developer (WSAD) has a headless build approach which allows you to build from the command line without running the full eclipse IDE. I’ve never done this outside of a WSAD toolset, but I thought there was support in eclipse for running in a headless mode. Do you guys know anything about this? I think this is an article I followed in the past to accomplish this http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/websphere/library/techarticles/0203_searle/searle1.html. You guys at myeclipseide might consider this, as well as the ant script generation option I think someone asked for.
I’m not promoting this as an ideal solution, just a example worth exploring.
