#6938 Compile actifsource project by ant

If a metamodel was created in an Actifsource project, this usually contains java code which must be compiled before generation or validation. It should therefore be possible to compile such a project via Ant in order to integrate it into the CI/CD pipeline.

The corresponding Ant file can be generated automatically via Project Explorer 'Export->Actifsource->Ant BuildFiel Export':



The Ant file now contains the following two essential targets:

1. export-classpath

This target can be used to collect the class path of a project, which is required to compile the project:



The export dependency can now be configured with the following properties:

• classpathproperty: The project classpath is written to the property and can be used in the antscript. 
• classpathseparator: The ClassPath separator (default ;) can be customized. 
• classpathfile: The project classpath is written to the file.

• classpathmapproperty: The Project ClasspathMap is written to the property and can be used in the antscript. 
• classpathmapfile: The Project ClasspathMap is written to the file.

• dependencytreeproperty: The project dependencytree is written to the property and can be used in the antscript. 
• dependencytreefile: The project dependencytree is written to the file.

2. compile-project

The project can now be compiled using this target:

The 'classpathproperty' property from the 'export-classpath' target is used for the ClassPath.



On github there is an example (Use the ant build file 'asbuild.dynamic.loading.compile_validate_generate.xml'):
