Urgent: source2wsdd ant problem

Question

I can successfully use MOST Web Service ANT tasks from inside Eclipse IDE, by either
putting the weblogic jars on the eclipse's ant classpath or by pointing Eclipse
at D:\bea\weblogic81\server\bin for the ant home, but I cannot get source2wsdd
to work when Eclipse invokes ant.
This is the error :-
[source2wsdd] source2wsdd: Cannot find doclet class weblogic.webservice.tools.ddgen.ServiceGen
It works fine if I run from dos window, but run setenv.cmd first.
Also I don't think I can use <java fork="true" as there isn't an equivalent command
line version of source2wsdd
Any assistance would be much appreciated, this has been driving me mad.
I believe weblogic.webservice.tools.ddgen.ServiceGen class is in the webservices.jar
like all the other ant task classes, but although webservices.jar seems to be
on the classpath for all ant targets it still complains.
Maybe it is something to do

Pete: Per the conversation with the person at eclipse.org, this code is
NOT being retrofitted to Eclipse 2.1.3. (Apparently the ant plugin was
totally rewritten for Eclipse 3.)
I asked about the stability of Eclipse 3 M2, and was told that the
developer in question uses it all the time. I downloaded it, unzipped to
a new directory (I'm paranoid about losing my 2.1.3 workspace), checked
out the project from CVS, added the appropriate JAR files to the
CLASSPATH used by the ANT task (weblogic.jar and webservices.jar) and it
works as you would expect. I didn't even have to change my scripts.
So far I have had zero problems with Eclipse 3 M2, and as a matter of
fact have already gotten some good use out of the new editor and
refactoring tools. (I'm sure there is a ton more stuff "under the hood",
but haven't gotten a chance to explore the "what's new" files yet.)

Wayne,
Can you tell me how you got this to work ?
and will it work in Eclipse 2.1.3 ?
many thanks

Pete: Good news. Between myself, BEA and Eclipse we were able to get
this working. I upgraded to Eclipse 3 M2 (available at eclipse.org) and
I can do do the build from within Eclipse.

Hi Wayne,
No I never managed to resolve this issue, we looked at it for quitea while, but
in the end proceeded with a temporary workaround, where we in our antscript we
run just the source2wsdd target as an EXEC invoking a .bat file whichjust runs
the <source2wsdd> target outside of Eclipse.
I was not really clear if this is a Weblogic or Eclipse issue, whatversion of
Eclipse are you using, we were using 2.1.3rc, but did wonder is Eclipse3 would
solve this ?
Let me know if you raise a bea support case.

My bad... pasted the wrong information in the previous message. Here
is the correct debug output:

Here is the ant task:
          <source2wsdd javaSource="${project_source}/com/qwest/qxg/webservices/CreateTransactionImpl.java"
               typesInfo="${generated_java}/types.xml"
               ddFile="${generated_ddfiles}/web-services.xml"
               wsdlFile="${generated_ddfiles}/createTransaction.wsdl"
               serviceURI="/CreateTransaction">
               <classpath refid="classpath"/>
          </source2wsdd>
As you can see from the debug output, webservices.jar is in the CLASSPATH.
What I noticed (and can be seen from the previous message) is thateven
though I put webservices.jar in the path for the Eclipse ant task,it
isn't showing up in the debug output. Best I can tell, this behavior
is unique to the "source2wsdd" task, as "autotype" and "clientgen"and
"wspackage" seem to run fine.
If I set the environment from a cmd.exe and run the ant directly from
the command line then the task runs correctly.
