Patches to use buildr to build eclipse plugins
Hi,
I've been using buildr to build eclipse plugins for a few days now, and
I must say that I'm addicted to it :)
As part of making things smoother for building eclipse plugins, I've
added yet another compiler to buildr that allows building eclipse plugins.
I'm hoping that this could be useful for others and would be more than
happy to clean up the code, add tests and submit patches to the buildr
team for inclusion in buildr. Would the buildr team be interested in
taking this contribution ?

Yes, totally!

What does you extension do beyond what the compiler already does? The idea
is to have your code (the additional processing) hook up on existing Buildr
tasks instead of overriding them.

Hi Alex,
I did look at the extending page.
I did not quite understand how I'll use it in a real project, counting
the number of lines is a good example of how the extension works. I'm
looking for how it can help me, instead of writing my own compiler.

Did you look here?

Could you elaborate a bit more on this ? I could not find too many real
examples or use cases of how this works, any pointers to documents or
real code would be cool!

Highjacking Ittay's suggestion, it might be worth sharing the code as-is so
others can comment on the approach taken before you clean it up. I have a
feeling it would be better to have a Buildr extension instead of a creating
a new compiler.

why not create your own project (at github maybe)?

Ketan, this sounds like a nice thing to have. What compiler did you use ?
the JDT one ?
I am not part of the Buildr team, but I think this would make a fine
addition to Buildr.
Thanks,
Antoine
