Hi all,

I am trying to build my first plug-in using the Jazz build system and
tasks but I cannot get the PDE build to recognize the Jazz ant tasks. From
debugging, I can see the message below:

!ENTRY org.eclipse.ant.core 4 3 2007-06-05 12:11:29.562
!MESSAGE The library "ant_tasks/build-ant.jar" specified from
"com.ibm.team.build.toolkit" for the antTasks or antTypes extension does
not exist

It seems that the com.ibm.team.build.toolkit jar's plugin.xml specifies
some extra classpath about an ant_tasks/build-ant.jar, but I cannot
actually find this jar anywhere. If I invoke a request a regular ant build
the Jazz tasks do resolve and run properly, however, if I go that route
that classpath does not have PDE tasks so I can't build my plug-in.

I hope I have made my problem clear and that someone can assist me with
this. I mean, surely someone else must have built plug-ins using the Jazz
task with PDE build. Heck, I'd bet that's how Jazz itself is built. ;)

Thanks.

Regards,
Rem

Remy,

It sounds like you've tried to deploy the com.ibm.team.build.toolkit jar
inside the client plugins directory for TeamConcert. Is that true? If
so...the build toolkit is not intended to be installed in IDE...that's why
it's not already included in there and why you are receiving the error you
are seeing. We've debated including it(see 18563) but currently it's not
supported. We do use ant and PDE build to build Jazz but we don't use
AntRunner to invoke the ant script...just straight ant.

Thanks,
D.

Hi Donald,

Thanks for the information, yes, that's what I was trying to do.

I was told by a coworker that not using AntRunner/PDEBuild is tough/unwise
(from his past experiences of building plug-ins), but I guess TeamConcert
is doing things differently.

Is there a sample snippet of an Ant file that has the PDE and Jazz tasks
configured properly anywhere that I can paste into my build file?

Thanks.

Regards,
Rem

Here's a little ant snippet that may help you until we get a chance to
create a working example for you.

Thanks,
D.

Just to clarify a little further...we do use AntRunner to invoke the
actual
build of the plugins...it's just not driving the entire build. AntRunner
is
invoked within the outer ant build to compile the plugins and put the
output
in a specified location. The outer ant build then uses the Jazz ant tasks
to publish to the repository the output created by PDEBuild . We'll try
to
create a simple working example for you.

Thanks,
Don
