As an experiment we want to build our products using the Eclipse java compiler (ecj-3.5.jar downloaded from eclipse.org) on the runtime version of Java 6 instead of the JDK, and as I understand it, it is a matter of adding this jar to the ant classpath, and setting the build.compiler property to point to the adapter. By including <pro...
From within an Eclipse plugin, I'd like to run an Ant build script. I also want to display the Ant output to the user, by displaying it in an Eclipse console. Finally, I also want to wait for the Ant build to be finished, and capture the result: did the build succeed or fail? I found three ways to run an Ant script from eclipse: Ins...

Hello, everyone! I have many JUnit tests, which are all created by Netbeans' assistant (so nothing customized). I can run every test manually by doing "Test File" (Ctrl+F6). But when I use "Run -> Test Project", the message "No Tests executed" is displayed. Do I have to register every JUnit test somewhere? Or what could be the problem...
By specifying "-lib foo.jar" to ant I get the behaviour that the classes in foo.jar is added to the ant classloader and are available for various tasks taking a class name argument. I'd like to be able to specify the same behaviour but only from inside build.xml (so we can do this on a vanilla ant). For taskdefs we have functioning cod...

I'm migrating a maven project to ant + ivy (it's an arbitrary decision, and it has to be done ). The thing is that comparing both WAR files, the ant and the maven one, the former has a lot more 3rd party jars than the first one... At first I thought that they were transitive dependencies but when I run mvn dependency:tree they don't...

This looks like one of Ant's optional components. This is the result of running ant -diagnostics just in case: http://...

If you have an existing ant file, what is the best way to convert the project to Maven. I've checked out things like fAnt, but if I'm going to mess with this stuff, I might as well go full-bore for Maven. I expected something to exist that can just start the pom.xml for me based on the existing build.xml, but I haven't found anything yet...
