Hi there!

I’m going to hand over a project which I developed with MyEclipse (took a lot of the pain, thx guys 🙂
So question is now, how they are going to compile my source (to a war i.e.) after changing the source (this is not: just copy the ear), as they won’t use MyEclipse (they are not into web development at all).
Don’t know how MyEclipse does do it’s building and deploying under the hood, but maybe it is using ant and then maybe it would be possible just to copy/export such a script without needing me to learn how to write such.

In other words: Is it possible somehow to get ant scripts out of myEclipse/Eclipse to do the compilation?

thx,
Axel

Axel,

Sorry, but it’s not possible for us to generate Ant scripts for our packaging. We used to use Ant in earlier versions of ME, but since Ant can’t follow Eclipse links properly we had to abandon it in order to enable greater project flexibility that our users were demanding.

When actually packaging applications to go to QA or production, we recommend that you pull them directly from your source repository, recompile and then package them using Ant or the build tool of your choice.
