Hello,

I'm a student and my latest task is to build a new extension for RapidMiner implementing some of my profesors methods.

I've have been carefully following all the instructions I could find online, but I've reached a problem I can't solve. When I try to run createjar from build.xml of RapidMiner_Extension_Template I get following output:

I have read some topics about it here and checked all the answers to this topis i could find:
- my RapidMiner resources are up to date (checked out today)
- I'm using java 1.7
- I changed Vega to Unuk in build.xml
- I added <exclude name="**/*" /> to build.xml

Is there anything I missed? I will be happy for any help you can provide me. :)

Thank you,
Milan

    Hi Milan,

    if your build.xml still referenced RapidMiner_Vega, than it definitly is not up to date.
    Try using this one: 

    <project name="RapidMiner_Plugin_Template_Unuk" default="install">
    	<description>Build file for the RapidMiner Template extension</description>

    	<presetdef name="javac">
    	    <javac includeantruntime="false" />
    	  </presetdef>

    	<property name="rm.dir" location="../RapidMiner_Unuk" />

    	<property name="build.build" location="build" />
    	<property name="build.resources" location="resources" />
    	<property name="build.lib" location="lib" />

    	<property name="check.sources" location = "src" />

    	<property name="javadoc.targetDir" location="javadoc" />

    	<property name="extension.name" value="Template" />
    	<property name="extension.name.long" value="RapidMiner Template Extension" />
    	<property name="extension.namespace" value="template" />
        <property name="extension.vendor" value="rapid-i" />

    	<property name="extension.needsVersion" value="5.3" />
    	<property name="extension.dependencies" value="" />

    	<!-- Uncomment if the extension actually depends on other extensions -->
    	<!-- property name="build.dependentExtensions" value="true" /> -->

    	<property name="extension.initClass" value="com.rapidminer.PluginInitTemplate" />
    	<property name="extension.objectDefinition" value="/com/rapidminer/resources/ioobjectsTemplate.xml" />
    	<property name="extension.operatorDefinition" value="/com/rapidminer/resources/OperatorsTemplate.xml" />
    	<property name="extension.parseRuleDefinition" value="/com/rapidminer/resources/parserulesTemplate.xml" />
    	<property name="extension.groupProperties" value="/com/rapidminer/resources/groupsTemplate.properties" />
    	<property name="extension.errorDescription" value="/com/rapidminer/resources/i18n/ErrorsTemplate.properties" />
    	<property name="extension.userErrors" value="/com/rapidminer/resources/i18n/UserErrorMessagesTemplate.properties" />
    	<property name="extension.guiDescription" value="/com/rapidminer/resources/i18n/GUITemplate.properties" />


    	<!-- Src files -->
    	<path id="build.sources.path">
    		<dirset dir="src">
    			<include name="**" />
    		</dirset>
    	</path>
    	<fileset dir="src" id="build.sources">
    		<include name="**/*.java" />
    	</fileset>
    	<fileset id="build.dependentExtensions" dir="..">
    		<exclude name="**/*"/>
    	</fileset>

    	<import file="${rm.dir}/build_extension.xml" />
    </project>
    Best,

    Hello Nils,

    thank you for your answer. Unfortunately even this build.xml file produced the "same" output:

    Do you have any idea why it does that?

    Thank you :)

    Hi,

    to compile a Java program you need the Java JDK - not the JRE. Right-click your Ant target, select "Run As" - "External Tools Configurations...", go to the "JRE" tab and select your Java 7 JDK.

    Regards,
    Marco
