Reinhard Nappert [http://community.jboss.org/people/rnappert] created the discussion "How to build a ear file with JBOSS Tools outside of Eclipse" To view the discussion, visit: http://community.jboss.org/message/567529#567529 -------------------------------------------------------------- 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.
