I need to be able to perform a headless build outside of the IDE in order to plug the current project into continuous integration. Is there a way to trigger a headless build from the command line or via ant or some other mechanism?

cwash,

Here is an article that will help, though based on Eclipse 3.5 and focussing on plugin / rcp builds, I believe you can apply the same principles to building anything else too from MyEclipse 7.5

Hope this helps.

Brian,

Thanks for your reply. I took a look at that article and it looks interesting – but what I’m really looking for is a way to access the project set builder/deployer features in MyEclipse from Ant or the command line.

Surely this is already coded, but is MyEclipse proprietary code – the problem would just be exposing it as an Ant task or something similar?

Thanks again for your help,

Chris

Chris,

I see what you mean – you would like to build and deploy a MyEclipse web application without actually launching MyEclipse?

I’m afraid this is a fairly detailed process (not achieved with ant internally) and we have no way of making it accessible externally. MyEclipse is proprietary, so we cannot make this source available either.

Sorry about that, if you have further questions, please let us know.
