I’m using the regular Eclipse platform at work on an existing source base that works wonderfully with the base ant build file (build.xml). However, when running MyEclipse at home and the only ant build target MyEclipse can see is the default help target. It does not display the other few dozen target choices like I see plainly when running Eclipse. If I change the build.xml default target to one of the other targets, then only that one is displayed.

Care to inform me how to get MyEclipse to work just like Eclipse ? If I can’t build, I can’t run and surely can;t debug under MyEclipse (in other words, MyEclipse is useless and I’m better off w/ Eclipse). Thanks.

lhale,
The Ant support is provided by Eclipse, MyEclipse does nothing to extend and/or modify the Ant support. It sounds to me like you may have something setup at home slightly different then at work. When you say “see” so you mean when using the Ant outline view in Eclipse?

Also please note that MyEclipse is not supported on the Eclipse 3.1 platform if you are using it, that might be causing some exceptions if you have this combination. We will be addressing this soon though. If none of this is the case, can you please post all the information we request in the [URL=http://www.myeclipseide.com/PNphpBB2+file-viewtopic-t-393.html]Posting Guidelines[/URL] thread at the top of this forum? That will give us some context so that we can determine if this is an installation issue, a configuration problem, or a bug. Thanks.

Actually, it appears that MyEclipse can NOW display all the targets in the ant build file, and execute them accordingly. I can’t think of anything I really changed, other than re-point the TOMCAT_HOME env variable correctly and restart MyEclipse after a reboot. SO, the problem that’s been palguing me for a couple of weeks appears to have vanished. CLOSED (for now)
