Introduction
higgins2ant is an Eclipse plug-in that the Higgins project uses. It generates dependencies.xml file using information about particular project from Eclipse IDE. This information includes classpath information and plugin dependency information from either plugin.xml or manifest. In some cases it could be even more complex - only Eclipse IDE could gather all required classpath information correctly.
Prerequisites
A number of prerequisites need to be installed on the build machine, as follows:
- J2SE 1.4.2
- Eclipse version 3.2 of higher
- Ant version 1.6.5 or higher
