How to build a ear file with JBOSS Tools outside of Eclipse

created by Reinhard Nappert in JBoss Tools - View the full discussion

Hi, I am able to build an ear file with the JProject Archive Builder, however I want to be able to build the ear file outside of eclipse, without writing a new ant build.xml file, doing exactly what the Project Archive Builder does.

I wrote a build.xml wuth a taskdef, which supposed to do exactly that:

<project name="Name" default="run-packaging">
  <property name="eclipse.home" location="c:/eclipse" />

 

  <path id="generate-archives-classpath">
    <fileset dir="${eclipse.home}/plugins">
      <include name="org.eclipse.equinox.common_*.jar" />
      <include name="org.jboss.ide.eclipse.archives.core_3.2**/archivescore.jar" />
      <include name="org.jboss.ide.eclipse.archives.core_3.2**/lib/*.jar" />
    </fileset>
  </path>

 

  <taskdef name="generate-archives" classpathref="generate-archives-classpath" classname="org.jboss.ide.eclipse.archives.core.ant.GenerateArchivesTask" />

 

  <target name="run-packaging">
      <generate-archives projectPath="C:/Workspaces/Project" />
  </target>
</project>

 

However, when I run ant -f <filename> run-packaging, I get the following error message:

Cannot build archive "Project.ear" due to a problem in the archive's configuration

 

I would assume that the archive's configuration is fine, otherwise it would not build within eclipse.

 

Any pointers are appreciated.

Thanks,

-Reinhard
