Hello,

I've been stuck for a while now with this problem, neither googling nor stackoverflow nor my strained brain could solve this: I would like to generate sources and have buildr compile them with some other hand written sources. I would also be happy if I could have a sub-project that just deals with the generated classes and use them in other project. So basically:

- buildr should call a generator (either a java program, or a shell script, or even an ant script, whatever works) - buildr should compile the resulting classes - buildr should add those sources to eclipse

I have found an old thread from 2009 with the same title, but none of the solutions there work (I'm getting so many errors that I wouldn't even know where to start, or nothing happens). I assume that buildr evolved quite a bit since then.

I've been very happy with buildr so far, but unfortunately I don't know ruby and rake yet and now I want to do something slightly non-standard, so I'm aware that I may have chosen the wrong build system for me. Still, I'd rather not go back to ant at this point.

I would be grateful if someone could give me an example of a working buildfile that does sth like what I've described. I've got an open question on stackoverflow, so if you need some karma, I'm happy to provide. (see:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7091659/using-generated-sources-in-a-buildr-project I just offered a bounty.)

Thanks! alvi
