How do I build an individual extension in v1811?

[arvind-kumar_avinash]

Individual extensions (except the platform extensions) in v1811 do not have build.xml.

In v1811, how do I build an individual extension without creating my own build.xml in it? Am I missing something?

Best regards.

This was because of a silly mistake. I just realized that I had just pcmbackoffice extension in my localextensions.xml and this is the reason why build.xml was missing in other extensions. It is important to note that build.xml is generated only for those extensions which are present or dependent on the extensions, in localextensions.xml.

In case you are interested in my boring story:
Why it is a silly mistake is because I never bothered to check my localextensions.xml. A few months ago, I had extracted this v1811 distribution zip in a separate folder in order to answer someone's question related to pcmbackoffice. Based on my finding, I answered the question correctly and the answer was accepted as well and then I forgot about the folder. The time when I posted this question, I was looking for build.xml in individual extensions; again in order to answer someone's question related to platform build and I could not find the build.xml in individual extensions (except the platform extensions).

We are using v1811.4 in our project, I can build.xml for both OOTB & Custom extension. Using ant build you can build the individual extension.
