I'm wondering if it's possible to add a log file to the build result? We get the default log, "Full Build Log", but I'd like to add another that comes out of the build so that it's easily accessible.

The Logs tab in the Eclipse UI has a button to add a log file and you already know of the Ant task. Another option is to use the Java API to code a program to add a log (which is essentially what the Ant task does).

The Jazz build toolkit does not provide command line utilities for publishing status or artifacts. To achieve the same functionality in the Perl script, we have three options:
- Write a Java command line front end to the build API,
- Use an HTTP library (such as cURL) to fake access the build services directly,
- Wrap the existing Ant tasks in thin build scripts, and use those to publish.
The third option requires much less work than the other two, so we'll use that.

The essence of it is in com.ibm.team.build.internal.publishing.AbstractContributionPublisher.publish(IBuildResultHandle, BuildStatus, ITeamRepository) which does:

        IBuildResultContribution contribution = BuildItemFactory.createBuildResultContribution();

        contribution.setLabel(fLabel);

        contribution.setImpactsPrimaryResult(true);

        contribution.setStatus(contributionStatus);

        contribution.setExtendedContributionTypeId(fExtendedContributionTypeId);



        if (fComponentName != null) {

            contribution.setComponentName(fComponentName);

        }



        initializeContribution(contribution, teamRepository);



        ClientFactory.getTeamBuildClient(teamRepository).addBuildResultContribution(buildResultHandle, contribution,

                null);



        return contribution;

The contribution type id to use is com.ibm.team.build.common.model.IBuildResultContribution.LOG_EXTENDED_CONTRIBUTION_ID

initializeContribution comes from AbstractFilePublisher:

    protected void initializeContribution(IBuildResultContribution contribution, ITeamRepository teamRepository)

            throws TeamRepositoryException {



        contribution.setExtendedContributionData(getFileContent(teamRepository));

        contribution.setExtendedContributionProperty(IBuildResultContribution.PROPERTY_NAME_FILE_NAME, new File(

                fFileLocation).getName());

    }

and getFileContent (which creates the IContent blob from the file) is in ContentPublisher:

    protected IContent getFileContent(ITeamRepository teamRepository) throws TeamRepositoryException,

            TeamBuildException {

        File file = new File(getFilePath());

        IContent content = null;



        try {

            String contentType = getContentType();



            if (ContentUtil.isTextContentType(contentType)) {

                content = storeTextContent(contentType, file, teamRepository);

            } else {

                content = teamRepository.contentManager().storeContent(contentType, null,

                        LineDelimiter.LINE_DELIMITER_NONE, new FileInputStream(file), null, new NullProgressMonitor());

            }

        } catch (FileNotFoundException exception) {

            throw new TeamBuildException(exception);

        }



        return content;

    }

File file = new File("C:\foo.txt");

IContent content = teamRepository.contentManager().storeContent(IContent.CONTENT_TYPE_UNKNOWN, null, LineDelimiter.LINE_DELIMITER_NONE, new FileInputStream(file), null, null);

String label = //the description field

String componentName = //the component name



IBuildResultContribution contribution = BuildItemFactory.createBuildResultContribution(); 

contribution.setComponentName(componentName);

contribution.setLabel(label);

contribution.setExtendedContributionTypeId(IBuildResultContribution.ARTIFACT_EXTENDED_CONTRIBUTION_ID);

contribution.setExtendedContributionProperty(IBuildResultContribution.PROPERTY_NAME_FILE_NAME, file.getName());

contribution.setExtendedContributionData(content);



buildClient.addBuildResultContribution(buildResult, contribution, null);
