Question

this is my first use of ivy+ant and after building the project from command line, i want to import it into eclipse juno. the project folder (trunk) contains the following folders/files:

• build
• dist
• src
• WebContent
• build.properties
• build.xml
• ivy.settings.xml
• ivy.xml

i tried to import the trunk folder that contains the above files/folder using import existing projects into workspace, but i get the error that no projects found.

pleases advise how to import this project.

UPDATE: i tried to configure the project for eclipse before importing using the following command:

ant eclipse-default

but i get the following error:

Target "eclipse-default" does not exist in the project

UPDATE 2:

i was able to import the project in eclipse as follows

File > New > Other > Java Project From Existing Ant Buildfile

but when trying to run the project on server, i can't find run on server in the run options, please advise.

Solution

You may try this:

1. Install IvyDE from http://www.apache.org/dist/ant/ivyde/updatesite (ref: http://ant.apache.org/ivy/ivyde/download.cgi)
2. IvyDE may not recognize your setting and properties file. At Window -> Preference -> Ivy -> Settings, check reload the setting on demand, add Ivy setting path ivysettings.xml or your Ivy setting file, Property files build.properties or your Ant properties file.
3. Add new Java project you want to work on, point the path to your project.
4. At the new project wizard, Libraries tab -> Add Library -> IvyDE Managed Dependencies.
