Refresh an Eclipse project with Ant

Question

We have some Ant script fosr building the different jars we use, in several Eclipse projects. There is some interdependency

At the end of the build, we have to refresh some of the Eclipse projects in order to make the build path valid. Without this, it doesn't see one of the just-built jars and Eclipse throws a build path error.

There is a way to avoid the manual refresh step?

Answer 1

Try this:

<eclipse.refreshLocal resource="project_name/folder_name" depth="infinite" /> 

There are option details at the Eclipse help system.

Important: you have to choose "Run in the same JRE as workspace" at the Ant run configuration.
