Ant usage

[reena321]

Hello all,

I am very much interested in Ant scripting language. I want to automate Configuration of my project. like wise windows->preferences->java->buildpath-> and set some value there and many more of the same kind.

Can you please give an example in ant to select particular toolbar item from eclipse. Or please share some of the good links or book name to achieve the above task.

inputs are really helpfull.

Ant is NO scripting language !! - but you may use several scripting
languages (all those BSF compatible ones, means JRuby, Groovy,
BeanShell, Rhino, Jython ...) within <script> task  as part of your
antscript

You may use ant scripts as external tool builder for your project, see =
http://help.eclipse.org/stable/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.platform.doc.user/gettingStarted/qs-80_ant.htm

Ant has no access to eclipse toolbars .. etc.
But there's an addon that gives access to the eclipse workspace =
http://ant4eclipse.sourceforge.net/

i believe your on the wrong path
you didn't describe in detail what you want to achieve, but i already
mentioned that ant is NO scripting language

btw questions for Ant usage should go to the antuser list,
you posted to the antdeveloper list instead ..
