projectSetImport

This task imports an existing Eclipse team Project Set File ("PSF") into a workspace. The PSF must have been first created using an Eclipse team "Project Set Export" command.

Parameters

Attribute	Description	Required
ProjectSetFileName	The fully quallified path to the Eclipse PSF file to be imported	Yes
PropertyImportedProjectNames	Property to receive a String[] of the names of the projects which were imported	No, default is ImportedProjectNames
AutoDeleteExistingProjects	Whether or not any existing project (with the same name) will be deleted (replaced) by a new project with the same name	No, default is true
FailOnError	Whether on not the Ant build should fail if there is an import error	No, default is true

Examples

• Import an Eclipse ProjectSet :

  <projectSetImport 
      ProjectSetFileName="{myProjectSet.psf}" />

• Import an Eclipse ProjectSet into a clean workspace but do not replace any existing project (fail instead):

  <projectSetImport 
      ProjectSetFileName="{myProjectSet.psf}"
      AutoDeleteExistingProjects="false" 
      FailOnError="true" />

Manually creating a non-team PSF

• If Eclipse team Source Code Managment (SCM) is not being used to store projects, and they are elsewhere on the file system, then a non-team "Ant" PSF can be manually created and used to import sets of existing file-system projects. Its internal project reference locations may be either fully qualified, or dot-relative to the PSF file.

• Sample MyAntProjectSet.psf:

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
  <psf version="2.0">
  <provider id="antimportProjectSet">
      <project reference="1.0,antimportProjectSet,X:/MyPath/MyProjectDirectory1,MyProjectName1"/>
      <project reference="1.0,antimportProjectSet,X:/MyPath/MyProjectDirectory2,MyProjectName2"/>
      <project reference="1.0,antimportProjectSet,../MyWorkspaceProjectDir,MyProjectName3"/>
      <project reference="1.0,antimportProjectSet,../MyWorkspaceProjectDir,MyProjectName4"/>
  </provider>
  </psf>
