« Hide

In IDEA 4.5, enabling "after compilation" on an ant target makes it run after compilation, but before a J2EE modules EAR file is built. This allows enhancing classes for JDO, building an extra jar to include etc.

In IDEA 5.0, the ant target runs after the J2EE build which makes little sense.

I think we won't change the sequence of tasks, since this can break other clients relying on the present execution order.
There are two suggestions I can think of:

You setup J2EE build output to exploded directory, and your (after compile) ant task does instrumentation and packs result into EAR file.
Or, you implement your custom compiler which makes necessary modifications in class files during IDEA make process. Please see

What if you provide another option, like "before J2EE build", which would correspond to the old "after compilation"?
