What is the file build.xml?
I was wondering if it is a possibility to import this project in Eclipse or Netbeans using this build.xml. I tried to import the project but I get some errors since one part is created using J2ME and the other J2SE and I guess this file should be the configuration.
build.xml usually is an ant build script.
It contains information necessary to build the project to produce the desired output, be it Javadocs, a compiled project, or a JAR file.
I believe Eclipse has ant built-in, so it should be possible to execute the build.xml by choosing "Run As..." and "Ant Build".
The build.xml file, if it is an ant script, is not used to import the project into an IDE like Eclipse or Netbeans. A build script is used to build the project (or produce some desired output) rather than an mechanism for importing the project into an IDE.
As mentioned by #coobird this is an ant build file. Although IDEs such as Eclipse and Netbeans have ant support built-in, it is also possible to run ant from the command-line and this may be the simplest way to get started if the project has been well created.
See http://ant.apache.org/
for docs.
If you want to try this approach, install ant, cd to the directory with build.xml and issue
ant
Eclipse can be told to build using an Ant script, but you can also use Ant itself.
build.xml file is an Ant(Apache) script.
you can find more information on Ant & build.xml here
In java project build.xml file is used write the ant script.
And from that ant script you can generate war file and can deploy on Tomcat server

I'm developing a selenium and TestNG project and I want to use Jenkins to run tests from .bat files.
I found some tutorials but all of them using Eclipse IDE. eg: http://learn-automation.com/selenium-integration-with-jenkins/
In Intellij IDEA I couldn't find any lib (jar files) folder and the file structure is slightly different than the Eclipse.
I was able to run through a POM.XML file but I really want to know how to build .bat file to run my testng.xml file. (From the beginning)
Compiling and Running java project from command line without any build automation tools (ANT, Maven, gradle) could get really complicated, however you can do that.
To compile and run I guess following should work.
To compile, I am not sure where class file will be generated but you can check help of javac command.
javac -classpath "[jarname with specified path]" [java filename]
This will execute the class files.
java -cp "path-to-jar/testng.jar:path_to_your_test_classes" org.testng.TestNG testng.xml
Now you can use this two command in batch file or directly use in jenkins.
However the easy and better approach will be to use Maven. There are lots of online blogs and video tutorial about how to setup up Maven project or convert existing project into maven.
I have simple HelloWorld project in Eclipse. Usually I do 'run as application' my HelloWorld.Java file to execute the project. Now I want to invoke HelloWorld via a build management tool. But it has to be from Eclipse environment and not through a jar file.
This requirement sounds weird but that's what I am trying to do.
If you want to use Jenkins, you will need SVN (or git).
So for the "Eclipse" environment, you will need subclipse in order to use SVN in Eclipse.

I have Tapjoy sources sources, which have such sructure: Tapjoy/src/com/tapjoy/*.class
It must be compiled with Android API Level 9 and higher.
My project is in version Android API Level 8.
So I need to make from sources of Tapjoy -> tapjoy.jar file and include it to my main project.
How can I make .jar file properly with command line or from eclipse?
In Eclipse IDE, it's very easy to create a JAR file.
Just right click on your package > Export > Java > JAR File (and follow the wizard!)
Or from command line
jar cvf tapjoy.jar Tapjoy.class
both are possible
you can also use ant or maven for this kind of functionality.
check for the jar tool for commandline approach!
check eclipse ant build for eclipse approach and check the ant jar task for ant approach
In Netbeans IDE, you can easy create own jar library,
Projects on Right click -> Clean and build
Thats it. You can use it now your "Project Location"/dist/MyApplication.jar
All you need to do create new project and import your jar file How to import Jar File ?
I have a jar codebase (developed and successfully compiled in Intellij IDEA) without class files. I want to make jar with that codebase through windows batch-script only. Please help me to make the jar automatically without opening it in any IDE or any manual operation.
Thanks in advance for the help.
You generally do that using build tools like Ant, Maven. Maven is quite more popular these days.
Convert your intellij project into an Maven project like this (IntelliJ - Convert a Java project/module into a Maven project/module), and then execute call mvn clean package from your windows script to build the jar. The jar will be located under ${project.dir}/target
I have a java application project (ant) under Netbeans and I want to programmatically call the action similar to Netbeans' clean and build (clean the project and than build it) command using something like javac or ant. How am I supposed to do that? I've already look at this but it didn't help me.
Netbeans for clean and build is using Ant (If it is not a maven project). Make some research of it (try with Writing a Simple Buildfile) and you will be able to do the same with your project by writing Ant build script for it.
