Hello,How can I customize the build process? If XPages is based on JSF, with JSF you have a build.xml file (ant file). With XPages you only have a build.properties file (Domino Designer, Java perspective). If you double clic, you can see a “Custom build” checkbox but I don’t find any doc about it.
Well, why do I care for this stuff? I’d like to auto-compile my groovy files to generate class files. With JSF is possible if you modify build.xml.
This is my first post. Sorry for my poor English and thank you in advance.

DDE doesn’t actually clean when you select “Clean” from the menu. It only rebuilds “dirty” design elements. I had a PMR in to Lotus because it was obvious that Clean wasn’t … cleaning that is, and their response was that it does not clean for “performance” reasons, as if it’s more important to work fast than to do what the developer explicitly says… a full clean.
-
So I asked them how to use Ant to force it to clean and build properly, which would also pretty much mean a custom build as well. I was effectively stonewalled and the PMR is closed, though there was mention of an SPR to “investigate” full clean functionality.

In short … you can’t do this.

If this information is incorrect then Lotus needs to retrain their support staff who provided it to me. And tell us how to use Ant to (clean and) build in DDE.
Enjoy…
