Eclipse external tools ant

We may add the notion of "workspace variables" to the launch configuration framework. This code currently exists in the external tools framework, but we believe it would make sense in the launch config framework and thus plan to push it down.

This feature should improve our shared launch configuration story. When an external tool is run, it will appear in the debug view. We may provide the ability to terminate running tools from this view. If we add the ability to debug Ant scripts probably not for 2. When an external tool is run, its output will appear in the debug console view. The output displayed in the console will follow the users selection in the debug view as it does today for Java applications.

The debugger console will add new APIs to allow clients to append data from arbitrary streams and to allow clients to provide their own document provider to color output from those streams.

More detail on this proposal can be found in Darin Wright's post to the platform-ant-dev mailing list. We also plan to support navigation from Ant output in the console to the relevant editor location. Could you post your build. Maybe this tutorial help: tutorialspoint.

May have been my attempt to clean out some files locally. But was pretty sure I never touched a workspace. Worked perfectly for me with Eclipse Mars just replaced "juno" with "mars" in the url. An example of a build xml file and how to run it I hope this helps!

It may be that this will be fixed in a future version of LiClipseText. Konstantin Kolinko Konstantin Kolinko 3, 1 1 gold badge 11 11 silver badges 20 20 bronze badges. Another possibility is your build. Follow the below steps. Just click on Add button and add your AntBuild file. Restart your Eclipse. Chetanti Mehta Chetanti Mehta 11 4 4 bronze badges.

What do you mean by 'external command' — greg It seems to be extranal tools that you can find in the run menu command. The external tools dialog is part of the Eclipse Launch system. I can't see a way to easily list everything in that dialog that doesn't involve using internal classes, You can list a single launch configuration type such as 'Ant Build' using something like the code shown here — greg I tried the code you linked to but it returned no results.

As to the explanation with the code this is for ant "programs" So I created a ant launcher but again no luck. Add a comment. Active Oldest Votes. Based on the info of greg I found the following to work in my case.
