I have a laptop and PC both loaded with my eclipse. (on my laptop) I am executing ant targets but nothing is displaying in the console. the targets appear to work but nothing displays, when i iniate tomcat or run a simple println program they both display ok. I did
this same exercise on my PC and everthing works fineGMGlaser ,
You have more consoles, probably.Click on ‘Open console’ drop down menu and you will see all your consoles
Best
No Go, I can either create a new console view, select the CVS view or the Java Stack Trace Console. I tried them all and none of them work.
It’s possible your Console view is just showing the wrong console. Try and restart MyEclipse go to your console view and see which consoles it is viewing. Also check your Ant run setup and see if you have output being redirected elsewhere.
For a sanity check, try a new workspace: File > Switch Workspace > C:\tempworkspace, hit OK. Now try and run a random Ant script, see if output is in your Output view.
I have closed eclipse, I have actually uninstalled eclipse and re-installed it. The Ant run is the exact same one that I am running on my home PC (Which works). I created a new workspace and that did not help. I looked under preferences under the ANT tab, I couldn’t find anything that might direct the output somewhere else.
If a new workspace didn’t help then there is either something wrong with the software installation or your perspective of what should be happening is slightly off creating the perspective of it not working.
When you create a brand new workspace, and then create a new Ant script by copy and paste and run it, the console view doesn’t get focused and you don’t see anything? If you navigate to your External Tools > Run As… menu, can you adjust the runtime parameters for that Ant script?
This is possibly starting to look like an ANT issue. When I execute the ANT target from a DOS prompt I get the following error message. “The system cannot find the batch label specified – end”. I do not get this message on my home PC. Found on the WEB that there was an issue with the 1.6.4 version of and. The plugin in eclipse is version 1.6.5 which is what I am using.
Can you try and download Eclipse 3.1.2 and run a quick Ant script and see if the output goes straight to the console as it should?
Also check your system vars to see if you have ANT_HOME setup to an old funky Ant build or even your PATH to see if you are including the /bin directory pointing at an incompatible version.
I downloaded the latest version of eclipse and ended up with the same result, nothing shows in the console.
Just for fun I removed the ANT_HOME and from the path and tried it again, no luck.
I then added the ant from the new version of eclispe to the path and tried it from the DOS prompt again, I ended up with the same error message as above. There must be some switch that is being flipped no matter what version of eclipse I am using.
Are you trying a new workspace each time or the smae one? All your settings are stored in your workspace so using the same workspace over and over will yield the same results.
Yes I did create a new workspace.
I also downloaded a standalone version of ANT, that got rid of my error at the DOS prompt but it did not help my empty console issue.
Have you resolved this? I am having the same problem. I think I accidentally closed the Ant console and now I can’t get it back.
To clarify, I see the Ant tab next to the “Problems”, “Tasks”, and “Console” tabs. The Ant tab displays all targets for my build file. I can even run any target, but there is no progress/output from it. I can tell that the target is running because class files, jars, etc. are getting created correctly. When I run targets from a command prompt I can see all progress/output correctly.
Thanks,
MorganOkay. That’s odd. Three previous Eclipse restarts didn’t do it, but the fourth one did it. Of course, ‘I didn’t change anything’ to make it work. Oh well.
Morgan,
Ant output is redirected to your Console view, it won’t be in the Ant view. Also try clicking the down arrow in your console view and selecting another console, it’s possible you could be looking at an inactive console while the Ant output goes to another console that youa ren’t watching.
