Hi,
We use IDLJ via "exec". First we define a prop like this:
#
# CORBA IDL to Java compiler.
#
idlj.executable = ${java.home}/../bin/idlj
And then invoke like this:
<target name="idl"
depends="init, checkIdlBuildRequired"
unless="idlBuild.notRequired"
description="compile all IDL sources to Java source files">
<mkdir dir="skel"/>
<apply executable="${idlj.executable}" failonerror="true">
<arg line="-verbose " /> <!-- Neccessary because of bug in
Windows version -->
<arg line="-fall " />
<arg line="-td ${skel} " />
<arg line="-i ${idl.dir} " />
<arg line="-pkgPrefix Common ${idl.package.prefix} " />
<arg line="-pkgPrefix Control ${idl.package.prefix} " />
<arg line="-pkgPrefix DataManagement ${idl.package.prefix} " />
<arg line="-pkgPrefix GA ${idl.package.prefix} " />
<arg line="-pkgPrefix OutcomeInferencing ${idl.package.prefix} "
/>
<arg line="-pkgPrefix Project ${idl.package.prefix} " />
<arg line="-pkgPrefix ProjectManagement ${idl.package.prefix} "
/>
<arg line="-pkgPrefix StatisticManagement ${idl.package.prefix}
" />
<arg line="-pkgPrefix TransformationManagement
${idl.package.prefix} " />
<fileset dir="idl">
<include name="**/*.idl" />
</fileset>
</apply>
<touch file="${idl.dir}/.skelgenerated" />
</target>
<target name="checkIdlBuildRequired"
depends="init">
<uptodate property="idlBuild.notRequired"
targetfile="${idl.dir}/.skelgenerated" >
<srcfiles dir= "${idl.dir}" includes="**/*.idl"/>
</uptodate>
</target>
Hope this helps.

Subject: How to incorporate "idlj" in my ANT xml ???
