I need to automate packing of Java EE projects into EAR archive in Eclipse. The most easy way, I think, is using Ant script. But writing of Ant from start is routine and long task. Is there a way to generate Ant script based on my actions in eclipse (like macros in MS Office)?
Or, maybe, exists easier way to do this?
Thanks!
There is nothing I know of that will generate an Ant build file for you. I don’t think it is that difficult or long to create an Ant build file. If you have never done it before there is obviously a learning curve to it.
What I think you might be asking is can you have a build file that uses the same build configuration as your Eclipse project so that you don’t have to setup your classpaths yourself then the answer is yes. I have never done this myself but I see this link seems to be offering that:
