Custom Toolchain: need to add a post-build step

I am creating a custom toolchain and after compiling and linking the application, I need to run another tool that converts the .elf output to .hex. I've tried adding this tool as an Archiver, Download or Execute tool, but I will always fail validation of the tool and the tool is never run.

This is the error I get when I run validation:

Skipped the existence check for 'Elf to Hex Converter'. Cannot determine the utility that needs to be checked for existence from the
build tool command 'java $(ELF_CONVERT)'.

My tool configuration is:

tc.addMacro('JAVA_PATH',            'C:\ARMTools\ide\jre\bin');

tc.addMacro('ELF_CONVERT',          '-jar C:\ARMTools\Tools\arm-atollic-reports.jar convert hex sizeinfo list $(PRODUCT)');

tool = tc.getPostbuildTool('Execute');

tool.setName(            'Elf to Hex Converter');

tool.setPath(            '$(JAVA_PATH)');

tool.setCommand(         'java $(ELF_CONVERT)');

tool.setCommandPattern('|>TOOL<||>TOOL_OPTIONS<|');

What am I missing?

Have you added/set options for your build configurations as well?

i.e. for all

tc.setBuildConfigurationOption('all', 'Execute', 'foobary');

or for a specific one:

cfg = tc.getBuildConfiguration('Faster Runs');
cfg.setOption('Execute', 'foobarz');

No clue if this is necessary, but it's an idea. Maybe those calls are necessary and you can set the options to an empty string (i.e. '').
