I am trying to compile a j2ee project, and the solution file includes many source projects, libraries. some of source projects have dependency with other source projects. And this compile task will be done by using ant task. is there third party library allows me to do this task quickly?
next step after compiling will be export to ear file.
Thanks for helping.
You can do it using Grand, Ant2dot or VizAnt

I've written some Delphi code I would like to share on GitHub. All code is contained in runtime and designtime packages as required. There are many "Project Options" to set for each project. (Output directories, search paths, compilation options, etc.) I've managed to find some default options that work well for my situation but reading other Q&As here it's clear there are multiple ways of working.
What project options should be used to allow the open source packages to easily be incorporated into individual projects?
I've recently started using NodeJS. The NPM package manager makes it super easy to use third-party packages in a project. Packages are installed with one simple command on the command line. Packages will automatically install any required dependencies.
PS: Feel free to edit this question if you would like to add extra things to consider.
Let's say you have this structure
MyComponent
Packages
DelphiXE7
Package2.dpr
source
bin
Delphi XE7
then set
Search Path
..\..\..\source
Unit output directory
..\..\..\bin\Delphi XE7\$(Platform)\$(Config)
After compilation for all supported platforms and both Release and Debug you will have this structure in the bin directory
MyComponent
Packages
DelphiXE7
Package2.dpr
source
bin
Delphi XE7
Android
Release
Debug
Win32
Release
Debug
Win64
Release
Debug
For installation you have to setup some path inside the IDE.
Environment
MYCOMPONENT => [root path to the files]
Library
Repeat that for all supported platforms
Library Path
$(MYCOMPONENT)\bin\Delphi XE7\$(Platform)\Release
Search Path
$(MYCOMPONENT)\source
Debug-DCU-Path
$(MYCOMPONENT)\bin\Delphi XE7\$(Platform)\Debug
If there are some language related units there is also a place to add (see Library - translated)
This ensures, that you have full debug feature (with Use Debug-DCU option set) and on release you have no debug code in your application.
Just a sidenote on libraries you should not want to install because you only use them in some projects.
Simply use the Optionset combined with a environment variable.
Here my SuperObject.optionset ($(USRLIB) points to a directory, where I collect all common used source code. And $(USRLIB)\ext is the place for all of the external libraries).
<Project xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003">
<PropertyGroup>
<DCC_UnitSearchPath>$(USRLIB)\ext\superobject;$(DCC_UnitSearchPath)</DCC_UnitSearchPath>
</PropertyGroup>
<ProjectExtensions>
<Borland.Personality>Delphi.Personality.12</Borland.Personality>
<Borland.ProjectType>OptionSet</Borland.ProjectType>
<BorlandProject>
<Delphi.Personality/>
</BorlandProject>
<ProjectFileVersion>12</ProjectFileVersion>
</ProjectExtensions>
</Project>
To use the superobject library I simply add the optionset to the project (right mouse click on build configuration) and everything is fine.
I am new to Plugin development and hence facing this issue.
I have 2 plugin projects and both the projects are part of a feature project. I want to set up an ANT build which could build the feature project and publish it to an URL or File system.
Here is the scenario:
Plugin Project A isDependentOn -> Plugin Project B.
For both these project, I wrote build files which builds them properly.
Now I created a Feature project and included both these plugins into it. However I am not able to correctly write the ANT build file or may be I am not sure of the complete process.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance. Cheers !!!
Its better use Maven with Tycho to build eclipse features and plugins in headless mode.

I am new to Flash Builder development environment. I need to use the library below in my project but don't know how to compile it to produce a .swc file. I tried importing the source folder as a Flash Builder project to no avail. Can someone help please?
This is the library I want to use:
https://github.com/fljot/Gestouch
You can build the library with both Maven and Ant, build files are already there, just take a look.
Precompiled SWCs (dev builds) are available here for now http://repository-fljot.forge.cloudbees.com/snapshot/org/gestouch/gestouch/
Usually, when creating a WebWorks Javascript extension you export your source files into a JAR with the appropriate provisions (e.g. library.xml, *.java). Usually, 3rd party libraries are in a jar file with compiled java code. I included the 3rd party jar inside my custom extension. This creates a jar within a jar file structure. The Blackberry Widget packager (bbwp) opens up the jar and compiles the Java files to be used in your WebWorks application. Blackberry's Java compiler is unable to compile because the appropriate packages are not visible in the class-path at the time of compilation. The appropriate packages are in the 3rd party library jar included in the extensions jar. Does anyone know how to resolve this class-path issue? Do I need the 3rd party source files instead of a jar? Is there documentation on how the BlackBerry Widget Packager (bbwp) works?
Thanks in advance.
Follow the instructions "Use precompiled classes in an extension" listed in the following link. That should resolve the compilation issue.
Creating a JAR file that defines your extension
I have two (Eclipse-) projects. Project A depends on project B, but the projects aren't nested i.e. project A is not a subproject of project B. Apache Ivy is responsible for the dependency management.
When I run the compile task in Project A, is there any way to trigger the compile task (in project B) automatically (for example if the jar file of project B doesn't exist)?
Thanks a million in advance.
You need to use the ivy task buildlist.
