Is there a way to launch a run / debug configuration from my ANT script?
I believe that the Ant4Eclipse plug-in can enable you to run Eclipse launch configurations using ANT.
An Exectuor is an ANT task that can run Eclipse launch configurations.

I want to run a maven command from the console, to perform a task automation in the project.
But I want to run the maven command the same way ecplipse does when I run maven
Eclipse in the log does not show anything it does to run the command.
But the IDE has configured a settings.xml file that points to a local repository.
I want the execution of the command to be the same as what the IDE does, with the same variables.
The execution will be carried out from an ant task
If you perform Right-Click → Run as → Maven build... on a Maven project in Eclipse you create a Run Configuration in which you can set all the things you can set on the command line for mvn ....
I've never used Ant to build software. But, according the the instructions in the picture
I can build NetBeans using Ant.
My question is how do I proceed? I have NetBeans downloaded and the JDK.
Should I use a command window from Windows OR does Ant have its own Command Window.
If so, how do I open this command window so I can build NetBeans?
i need to execute a ant script inside eclipse luna using java 7.
The problem is that if i try to change the path with jenv or try to set JAVA_HOME inside eclipse the ant script inside eclipse is always executed with java 6.
The OS is macOS Sierra.
I have to use eclipse.ini ?
Thanks
Assuming you are running the Ant script the normal way you can configure this in the configuration for the script.
Open the External Tools Configuration dialog using 'Run > External Tools > External Tools Configuration...'.
Find your script in the 'Ant Build' section and then look at the 'JRE' tab where you can set the JRE/JDK to anything you have told Eclipse about.
I have got a Java web application project what use Maven, Spring, Tomcat, and so on.
I use Eclipse Mars and I can import the project but I cannot run it under Eclipse because there are some plug-ins which I cannot find. But I can compile the project with mvn compile command and I can run my project with mvn tomcat7:run command.
I want to run the project in debug mode but I don't know how to run the project in debug mode from command prompt. I know that there is an mvnDebug command but if I put a breakpoint anywhere in my source (naturally somewhere in Java file) code in Eclipse, it stops when the process reach the breakpoint.
If you have m2e eclipse, go to Debug Configuration > Goals : mvn tomcat7:run > Apply > Debug
I have some ant task which says on first run
Task cannot continue because ECJ is not installed.
ECJ was automatically installed. Please rerun your task.
When running with standalone Ant, it runs ok second time. I don't know what is ECJ, but apparently it is installing in standalone Ant.
Contrary when running with Eclipse Ant this message persisting, i.e. ECJ is not installing into Eclipse' Ant.
How to fix the situation?
This page helped me:
In Eclipse, Go To Window->Preferences->Ant->Runtime
Select "Ant Home Entries (Default)"
Add External JAR... ecj.jar. Available in the lib folder of the Liferay Plugins SDK.
Ant should now be able to compile from your build.xml
I was facing similar issue In Windows.I did below thing.
There is one jar file(ecj.jar) inside ${ant.home}/lib folder.That file was not rechable. Setting environment variable ANT_HOME_PATH to apache ant.solved my issue.
Note: Point that variable to ant home and not to bin directory.
