Automatically import properties file? - eclipse

I have a properties file used for building in Ant containing variables that I want to add to Eclipse classpath. Is there a way to do this automatically?
Ideally I'd like to be able to add an argument to the command line and automatically import the values in the file.
Acceptable solutions also include the usage of a plugin that adds this functionality.
Example:
test.propeties
MW_HOME=C:\\Program\\Oracle\\
TEST_HOME=C:\\temp\\

The purpose of the file containing export directives

What is the purpose of the dart file containing the content like this? The file is located right in the lib folder and contains nothing more.
export 'src/admob.dart';
export 'src/admob_banner.dart';
export 'src/admob_banner_size.dart';
export 'src/admob_banner_controller.dart';
export 'src/admob_interstitial.dart';
export 'src/admob_reward.dart';
export 'src/admob_events.dart';
The user of the library will be able to import just the single file and get all the classes and methods exported in it. Also, it's considered a bad practice to import anything from src/* directories, as they are considered to contain implementation details.
You can find more info in the documentation, specifically this point:
Create a “main” library file directly under lib, lib/.dart, that exports all of the public APIs. This allows the user to get all of a library’s functionality by importing a single file.

Rename references at the same time in Eclipse

I have the following situation:
Consider that I have a class nested in a folder structure like for example /fol/der/exam/ple.java . Of course, the class ple.java contains package or import instuctions referencing to some sources. Now, when I choose Use as a source folder for /fol/der/exam/ple.java then, of course, the references used in package, import or function parameters are not the same anymore. I need to adjust them. Is there an elegant how to do that automatically in eclipse?
So, let´s assume that I have the following line in ple.java:
package fol.der.exam;
and that I have this line also in other files like a.java, b.java, etc. and I want to change the line, let´s say to package der.exam;
How can I do that automatically for all java files in eclipse?
best regards,

Creating Modelica Libraries

I have created a small Modelica library of my own. The way I have created it is in a single file. But I would like to make it a proper Modelica Library, as in the one with multiple directories for each subpackages.
So this is what i followed. File > New Modelica Class > Specialization - Package > Unchecked Save contents in one file. I copied the entire package code from the single file library, pasted it here and saved it. while doing so, I've noticed that the library lost most of its extends clauses, few models went missing.
Have I followed the correct procedure to create the library or did I do something wrong?
Can anyone point me towards the right direction?
#MSK, I cannot help you with OpenModelica as I work with Dymola. I did however recently split a single-file library (called package in Modelica) into several files manually. I did this so that the library hierarchy is represented in the file system hierarchy (i.e. several subfolders and .mo files in a library folder). For 35,000 lines of code this took roughly 10 hours. Just follow these steps:
create folder with same name as library
in this folder, create a text file "package.mo"
"package.mo" has to start with the statement
within ;
package [name of your package, i.e. the folder name...without the brackets];
now you want to create a subclass within this package. To do this create another folder containing a text file called "package.mo"
start this "package.mo" with
within [name of your package];
and declare the model as usual.
continue all the way down your library hierarchy
at the lowest hierarchy level you no longer need to create folders. You can simply create a .mo with the name of the lowest level class. As usual, start this file with
within [name of your package].[subclass1].[subclass2];
For an example of implementation please refer to the Physiolibrary found at https://www.modelica.org/libraries or the Modelica Standard Library which also uses this structure.

Buildr: adding a path to the generated eclipse/idea files

I have a legacy java project that we have been moving to buildr/artifactory from ant/jars in svn.
The primary code is in the default (src/main/java) folder, but we have a few external source paths, for various tests that we can't move into the default folder, but we want to have access with it.
Currently, when adding a new library/regenerating IDE fields, it does not pick up these source paths, and I can't find a succinct discussion in the buildr manual for how to actually add them, rather than re-adding everything manually in eclipse (which just gets wiped out on the next regen).
Any idea how to have multiple source paths get picked up explicitly by buildr so that the idea/eclipse targets generate properly?
There are two ways that I know will work with IDEA. The second one might also work with Eclipse, while the first is specific to the idea task.
The IDEA-specific solution:
define 'proj' do
# ...
iml.main_source_directories << _('src/other')
end
iml also has test_source_directories and excluded_directories arrays you can append to.
The possibly eclipse-compatible solution, with more background than you probably want:
The iml object gets its default values for the main and test source directory arrays from project.compile.sources and project.test.compile.sources (slight simplification; resources are considered also). Buildr defines these .sources project attributes from the layout, so instead of explicitly appending to the iml attributes, you could use a custom layout for your project that includes your special source paths. That might work with the eclipse task, but I haven't tried it.

import and compile axapta 2009 xpo by commandline

i'm looking for a way to import an existing xpo-export via command-line into ax2009 aot and afterwards compile just this imported xpo. google tells me how to compile the whole aot by commandline, which takes quite long.
so is there a way to import an xpo ( shared project ) and compile just these objects?
what possibilities are available, if the objects which should be imported are version-controlled by ax and are checked-in?
hoping for an easy way to automate optionally check-out, import, avoid overwrite?-questions, compile and run ;)
thanks in advance!
You can make you own startup command:
Make a new class and extend SysStartupCmd
Change the construct method of SysStartupCmd to call you class.
Do whatever you need, this includes parsing the parm variable.
Also you will have to deal with version control by calling checkin/checkout in your code, handling compile errors etc.
There are no easy way, this is complicated stuff.
Over the last two years I have introduced and refined a command line process for deploying XPOs to AX 4.0 with great success. The class SysAutoRun is key as mentioned above. The following is a brief explanation of the resulting process:
Developers export AX objects from the AOT to a corresponding folder(layer) i.e. CUS, VAR, etc... for the most part the file name is the default file name set by AX.
Developers commit using SVN in this scenario. This would have to be evaluted to meet your needs.
Console application for the build process reads all file names from each directory(layer) and creates corresponding AX project definition files.
Console application reads all file names from each directory (again) and creates an import definition file for each corresponding layer(folder). The project definition created above is also instructed to be imported after all other objects are loaded and finally compiled. The import definition contains some specialized elements that are recognized by the SysAutoRun.execCommand(XmlNode _command) method.
A call is made to ax32.exe "config.axc" -StartupCmd=AUTORUN_ImportDefinitionMentionedAbove.xml -lazyclassloading -lazytableloading -nocompileonimport -internal=noModalBoxes
AX parses this import definition file invoking customizations as instructed. Logging is added to the process for outputting compilation results to an XML log file. Finally step 3's project definition file is compiled.
Console application validates the outputted XML log and handles appropriately.
Step 5-7 is repeated for each (folder)layer.
I understand this is very vague. The intent of this post is to get feedback on interest before I invest more time on describing the process. The import definition file is probably of most interest as it is responsible for loading the objects in the right order, synchronizing the ORM, compiling, repeating, etc...
Thanks M#
