I'm trying to build an eclipse plugin from console which works fine. Now I want to add a parameter to the ant script. I looked it up and and read here that I can pass an arbitary parameter like this:
-D{paramName} {paramValue}
Also the official documentation says I can put it after the -application parameter. It states:
Note that the parameters appearing after the application are the parameters that are passed to Ant.
This is my build script which runs fine if I do not specify the additional custom -DeclipseLocation parameter.
java
-jar C:Eclipse_3.7.2_WIN32pluginsorg.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.2.0.v20110502.jar
-application org.eclipse.ant.core.antRuer -DeclipseLocation "D:Program FilesEclipse_3.7.2_WIN32" -buildfile D:build.xml
When ruing I get the an error message that says
Unknown Argumen: -DeclipseLocation
Unknown Target: "D:Program FilesEclipse_3.7.2_WIN32
No known target specified
So what am I doing wrong. How can I pass custom parameters to my ant build here?
