This task assumes Forrest 0.7 which has not been released yet, but a snapshot version can be downloaded from: http://svn.apache.org/snapshots/forrest.
For Forrest 0.6, the directory layout is a little bit different but its quite easy to adapt this script for 0.6.
<!--
Runs Forrest by executing java with the following command line arguments:
(as determined from the forrest shell script):
The forrest script launches 'ant' with the following command line:
$FORREST_HOME/tools/ant/bin/ant -buildfile $FORREST_HOME/main/forrest.build.xml -Dbasedir=${basedir} -emacs
Ant's 'java' exec line:
-classpath "$FORREST_HOME/tools/ant/lib/ant-launcher.jar"
-Dant.home="$FORREST_HOME/tools/ant"
-Dant.library.dir="$FORREST_HOME/tools/ant/lib"
org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher
-lib ":

"-buildfile" "$FORREST_HOME/main/forrest.build.xml"
"-Dbasedir=${basedir}"
"-emacs"Forking is necessary since Forrest uses some extra libraries which are not present in the standard ant installation.

Hi
I am trying to get Forrest to work from within Eclipse 3.0.1 but are having a few problems and wanted to hear if anyone has succesfully set that up. Based on the chapter "Invoking Forrest from Ant" in the Forrest docmentation, I have created the following Ant build file:
<project name="CCCP Website" default="post-build">
<property environment="env"/> <property name="forrest.home" value="${env.FORREST_HOME}"/> <import file="${env.FORREST_HOME}/forrest.build.xml"/>
<target name="post-build" depends="site"> <echo>Building Forrest website</echo> </target> </project>
The enviroment variable FORREST_HOME is correctly set in my system enviroment,
and I can build my site by running "forrest" from command line without problems.
I was not sure where to copy xml-commons-resolver-1.1.jar, but I though
eclipse/plugins/org.apache.ant_1.6.2/lib was the right location.
I also added xml-commons-resolver-1.1.jar to the Ant classpath in Eclipse.
But when I run the build.xml file from within Eclipse I get the following problem:
Buildfile: C:\app\eclipse\workspace\CCCP\forrest\build.xml
init-props:
