Call jruby from ant

Ruby JRuby
1

I was asked to call buildr from ant (eclipse) and generally make some
things
work out-of-the-box, so that others that will use my buildfile, won’t
need
to move jar files around or configure anything.

I would like jruby to run on the same JVM instance as eclipse. The java
ant
task does that by default but what are the necessary arguments
(classpath,
etc)? As the bsf thing needs downloading the jar etc, it is not an
option.

----------------build.xml---------------------

<?xml version="1.0"?> ----------------buildfile--------------------- Project.local_task :hi define 'MyProject' do task :hi do |task| puts "buildr says hello"; end end

thank you for your time,
Nikos

I’m pretty sure that Ant doesn’t run in the same instance as Eclipse
(just
tried, the debug view shows that a new JVM is created).
Rather than using Ant, you can run programs directly in External Tools.
