I’m working on an application for my distributed system laboratory course. I have a working ant buildfile that runs multiple targets. My modus operandi currently is to open terminal windows (linux) and run separate ant targets.(with a Logger)
what i would need is the possibility to:
- run and debug the project with the ant buildfile in eclipse
- open multiple eclipse consoles (or maybe eclipse remote systems – local shells), one per ant target
i found a very good answer/solution here:
https://stackoverflow.com/q/316783
but i didn’t get it all together. i read the oracle tut for jar file creation and tried to write a manifest file, i guess creating a java launcher is really basic knowledge,
but it didn’t work.
could someone please describe, how to implement the solution by “VonC” in detail (https://stackoverflow.com/q/316783) or share a better/similar/more “simple” one?
You don’t need to create your own jar. What the solution is talking about is setting up an Eclipse launcher from an ant target.
