Using Ant with CDT

Question

I am using ARM's Eclipse for DS-5 for developing my embedded C projects. We were asked by a customer if we can generate ANT build files using Eclipse. Looking through the manual, it seems like I should be able to Export the project to Ant.
My Workspace contains several projects. So, I select the project I want to export, then click the menu File -> Export... -> General -> Ant Buildfiles, then click Next>.
The next dialogue that opens is the Generate Ant Buildfiles, but the list of projects to select from is empty! The Check projects for Ant compatibility box is checked by default, but even when I uncheck it, the list remain empty.
1. Can Ant be used to build C projects?
2. How do I export a project to Ant from CDT?
3. If (1) is "No" and (2) is "Can't", then why is this option included in CDT?

Answer 1

I tried this and it doesn't work. It will include the file Manifest.mf in
the jar along with the default manifest file MANIFEST.MF. If you try to use
the support tag to include a file MANIFEST.MF, an IOException is received.
Has anybody found a way to get ejbjar to use a custom manifest file?

I'm using pretty much the same combination, and it works just fine.
Here's what I'm doing:
<ejbjar srcdir="${build}"
descriptordir="${dd}"
destdir="${dist}">
<support dir="">
<include name="META-INF/Manifest.mf"/>
</support>
<!-- The WebLogic subcommand -->
<weblogic destdir="${dist}"
newCMP="true"
compiler="jikes"
args="-g">
<classpath>
[snip...]
</classpath>
</weblogic>
<!-- include the standard descriptor files only, ignore the WebLogic
files. -->
<include name="**/*-ejb-jar.xml" />
<exclude name="**/*weblogic*.xml" />
</ejbjar>
As you can see, I add the manifest file using the support nested tag.
The manifest file is on my harddisk, in a directory called "META-INF",
which is in the project's main directory.
Hope that helps,
Nils

Make sure that you are running WLS 6.1 (I believe earlier versions will
clobber the
manifest.)

that weblogic.ejbc is overwriting the manifest (ant does find the MF,but weblogic
seems to be clobbering it)
has anybody run into this before?
thanks
