Patch to add an ivy:eclipse ant task that generates Eclipse .classpath files
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: IVY-1016
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVY-1016
Project: Ivy
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Ant
Affects Versions: trunk
Reporter: Jing Xue
I put together a post-resolve ivy:eclipse task that updates the Eclipse
.classpath file according to the result of ivy:resolve. It also will discover
any source jars if they are part of the resolve/download, and automatically
attach them to the corresponding entries.
For example, I have this entry in ivy.xml:
{code:xml|title=ivy.xml}
<dependency org="commons-collections" name="commons-collections" rev="3.2.1"
conf="compile;references">
<artifact name="commons-collections" type="sources" ext="jar"
m:classifier="sources" conf="references" />
</dependency>
{code}
In build.xml, I have:
{code:xml|title=build.xml}
<target name="eclipse" description="Updates eclipse classpath.">
<ivy:configure settingsId="ivy.eclipse" override="true" />
<ivy:resolve settingsRef="ivy.eclipse" conf="compile, references" />
<ivy:eclipse settingsRef="ivy.eclipse" conf="compile, references" />
</target>
{code}
And running 'ant eclipse' will update my .classpath with the cache path to the
commons-collections jar, with its sources jar attached. The classpath entry
will be annotated with an ivygen="true". Next time I run 'ant eclipse', this
entry will be recognized and replaced with whatever updated paths.
This is only the first draft. I know there is IvyDE, but I feel that this could
be a good starting point for a alternative that is more Ant-oriented.
