Eclipse and Ant

[Sortep Mindengi]

Hi all,

I have build.xml for deploying my web aplication in Eclipse. I run it by right-clicking and selecting Run->Ant Build. I want to add the "-logger org.apache.tools.ant.listener.MailLogger" option so that an email will be sent out after the build runs. When I run this from the command line it works perfectly, but I can't get it to work from Eclipse. Exactly where do I have to specify the "-logger" option and what syntax do I use to get this to work via right-click->Run??

My thanks in advance.

Try right-click-->Run as->Ant build...

You'll see a preferences dialog, go to the main tab and add your command line arguments.

And take a look at the menu Run->External tools->External tools...

Here you can pre-configure some ant launches configurations wich will be accessible from the toolbar.
