AUTOMATE build with ANT after SYNCHRONIZING

Hi,

In my AIP:
I have folders in the 'Application Folder', that I have 'Synchronized' with folders in my system.

To make a new build, Normally, ALL i have to do is :
1. Open the AIP file
2. Hit 'Refresh (Refresh Synchronized Folder)' in the 'Files And Folders' Page. {For each of the synchronized folder}
3. Change the value for a property in the 'Installed Parameters' Page
4. Build.

Can i get the ANT scripts to do this (REFRESH the SYNC and BUILD) ?

Thank You.
Daniel

Re: AUTOMATE build with ANT after SYNCHRONIZING

Hello,

Please keep in mind that when you build your project the content of all your synchronized folders will be synchronized to the content of the source folders on disk.
So, there is no need to use the refresh operation for each of the synchronized folders. Also, when you hit the [Refresh] toolbar button from "Files and Folders" view then all your synchronized folders will be synchronized to the content of the source folders on disk.

In order to include Advanced Installer in an ANT build you can take a look on the following articles:
- Building from command line
- Automate Advanced Installer with Ant

All the best,
