hybris 5 Accelerator build fails on Eclipse but not on cmd

Question

I've installed a hybris 5 Commerce Accelerator B2C platform on my computer and imported the Eclipse projects from this platform into Eclipse, but some of the projects always have build errors. I can run ant clean all from the command line and build all projects successfully, but when I try cleaning and building my workspace from Eclipse I get this error for some of the projects:

Errors running builder 'Integrated External Tool Builder' on project 'ondemandcommon'.
Variable references non-existent resource : ${workspace_loc:/platform/resources/ant/beangen.xml}
Variable references non-existent resource : ${workspace_loc:/platform/resources/ant/beangen.xml}

The file /platform/resources/ant/beangen.xml in fact doesn't exist, but every project references this file from their .externalToolBuilder/HybrisBeanGeneration.launch file (see image below), so how come only a few projects can't be built?

Why won't these projects compile and what's the best way to fix this?

Answer 1

Have you mixed and matched platform/extensions from different releases? This was replaced by codegen.xml, try using this.

Alternatively, you very well may not need any of the cis/oms/ondemand extensions and can safely remove them.

Finally, you can disable the builder in eclipse and use the Ant build system. This is faster anyway.
