Excluding eclipse, excluded in ant script

Question

In eclipse, users are able to exclude files from the assembly. Then Eclipse will .classpath and create the following entry so that eclipse does not know how to create specific files during compilation.

<classpathentry excluding="file1|file2|file3" kind="src" path="src"/>

I am creating ant scripts for several Android projects. I am using the generated ADT script and overriding the -compile task. I was wondering if there is a way to get a list of excluded files?

I was thinking of a task in ant that would parse the .classpath file and extract the file names and then use them that way ... but I was hoping there was an easier way.

Thanks!

Answer 1

An alternative would be to build the project from the command line using the Eclipse command line builder . you can include it in ant script.

Answer 2

How to use Export-> General → ANT files ? This creates an ant build script against excluded classes.
