I've been trying to understand what Ant is used for but i still don't get it. Can someone give me one use case for which Ant is used for, something I can try to see why Ant is useful and what kind of things I can use it for? I do Java development in Eclipse and I'm just getting started with servlets and Google Web Toolkit. Ant is a build tool. Say for example you have several projects in your Eclipse workspace, all of which are pieces of a larger application. To build it all into a jar file with dependencies included, you could select all the projects and export them as a jar file, but that's

a newb question here: I have a build.gradle file with apply plugin: java in it, and associated with a java project/package. when I run gradle build from the command line I get: :compileJava UP-TO-DATE :processResources UP-TO-DATE :classes UP-TO-DATE :jar UP-TO-DATE :assemble UP-TO-DATE :compileTestJava UP-TO-DATE :processTestResources UP-TO-DATE :testClasses UP-TO-DATE :test UP-TO-DATE :check UP-TO-DATE :build UP-TO-DATE BUILD SUCCESSFUL Total time: 4.312 secs but when I check the build folder, there are no classes. What am I doing wrong ? I have: lib, reports, test-results & tmp under the

I'am using Jenkins for continuous integration and I have some projects having upstream and downstream build connections. I have selected Run only if build succeeds in each project's configuration. However, the post-build step is still getting triggered for unstable builds. Jenkins version is 1.480.3 . I wonder if is there anyone having a similar experience. Thanks in advance This is an existing issue in Jenkins 1.480.3. It got resolved 1.509.1. The link of jira is as follows. https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-14102 来源： https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16829715/jenkins-run-only-if

I'm porting my iPhone app to android and I'm having a problem with the string files now. The app is a translation tool and users can switch the languages, so all the localized strings are in both languages and they are independent from what locale the OS is running. For iOS version I have different files like de.strings, en.strings and fr.strings and so on. For every target with specified language pair I read the strings from the string tables, e.g. for de-fr I will include de.strings and fr.strings in project and set the name of the string tables in the info-list file and read strings from

I'm currently looking into automating a software build process that includes a database schema defined in MySQL Workbench. Using Workbench's scripting capabilities, I'd like to open a Workbench document and export its schema as an SQL CREATE script. What I'd like to know is if there is a function that exports the entire schema in one step as Workbench's File | Export | Forward Engineer SQL CREATE Script , automatically handling any dependencies between tables. I've found some candidates in the DbMySQL module that might do that ( generateSQL(GrtNamedObject, dict, string) and makeSQLExportScript

I'm trying to automate the build process for engineering group. As part of that automation, I'm trying to get to a point where the act of applying a specific tag that adheres to a pattern will kick off an automated process that will do the following: Check out source code Create a build script from a template Build the project I'm pretty certain I could do this with a post-hook in subversion, but I'm trying to figure out a way to do this with something other than a subversion hook. Would it make sense to monitor the tags directory in the subversion repository to kick off my workflow? Are there

I have a project that uses jaxb for some xml processing. How can I setup a pre-build event in eclipse to execute xjc before building my project? Goto Project->Properties->Builders. Create your own builder and enable it. And in the configuration of the builder enable "During auto builds" etc. as shown below: At the moment, eclipse doesn't support this. However, you can use a build tool like Ant, Maven or Gradle for getting the same result. There are functions in these tools which specifically allow you to execute a given task at any stage of the build. 来源： https://stackoverflow.com/questions

I have a pre-build event defined like this: $(ProjectDir)PreBuild\runthis.exe When the runthis.exe executes, it runs in the context of the bin folder of my project instead of the PreBuild folder where it lives. How can I make the build event execute runthis.exe in the context of the PreBuild folder instead of the bin folder? Add cd $(ProjectDir)PreBuild first to switch to that folder. 来源： https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13767157/in-a-visual-studio-pre-build-event-how-do-i-execute-an-exe-in-the-context-of-its
