Workbench ANT tasks missing from Jazz builds?
I have been using a set of ANT scripts for years to build an enterprise application. The scripts use ANT tasks provided by the RAD/RSA workbench, such as <eclipse>, <workspacePreferenceGet>, <getProjectData> but those are apparently not available from a Jazz engine build according to a build log. I also use <workspaceBuild>, and <workspaceGetErrors> and others, which I'm speculating also are not available (my script doesn't get that far so I don't know)
Is there a way to make these available to the build engine? |

Since this question was posted, an article has been published on DeveloperWorks explaining the use of the RAD tools from a continuous build system:
https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rational/library/10/enhancecontinuousintegrationwiththerationalapplicationdeveloperbuildutility/ The article usees Hudson, but the approach could easily be adapted to RTC Build, e.g. using an Ant build definition. |
... I have to say I see this as a serious problem. Reading the article I don't find it easy at all to make RAD ant tasks available in RTC build. RTC and RAD are a natural combination. Why isn't building RAD projects better supported and documented? Is buying Build Forge the only way if one wants proper integration and support for this? |
