T Jake Luciani commented on CASSANDRA-1926:
-------------------------------------------
I selfishly would like to see this in build.xml, I'm working on a patch to do
the *.jar for includes. Eclipse project files don't support this so its not
straight forward.
> Add Ant target to generate the project description files for running
> Cassandra in Eclipse

> "http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/RunningCassandraInEclipse"; has demonstrated
> the procedure to manually configure Eclipse to make Cassandra runnable in it.
> But why not doing this automatically by adding an Ant target that is
> responsible the generation of Eclipse project description files? Actually,
> another Apache project, Hive, has done the similar things.
> Moreover, the aforementioned setup guide has the defects, which was learned
> from my experience of building Cassandra in Eclipse:
> 1) The "bin/" directory of Cassandra contains the executable scripts while it
> is the output destination of Eclipse project build by default. Therefore,
> unintentionally using Eclipse project build will break the original
> executable scripts in the "bin/" directory.
> 2) The default builder cannot build the project correctly. Instead, a
> customized builder based Ant builder should be created.
> For these reasons, I suggest to add a new Ant target in "build.xml" to
> generate the project description files. Meanwhile, another target is required
> to clean these files.
