Tutorials
- Eclipse based Tutorial
- Notes from Jordan Anastasiade tutorial
- Ant is a Java-based build tool. Instead of a model where it is extended with shell-based commands, ant is extended using Java classes
- Instead of writing shell commands, the configuration files are XML-based, calling out a target tree where various tasks get executed.
- Installing Ant :
- Add the bin directory to your path. Set the ANT_HOME environment variable to the directory where you installed Ant. Assume ant is installed in c:\ant\. The following sets up the environment:
- set ANT_HOME=c:\ant
- set JAVA_HOME=...
- set PATH=%PATH%;%ANT_HOME%\bin
- ant buildfiles are written in XML – build.xml. Each buildfile contains one project and at least one (default) target.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!-- compile java files from all subdirectories -->
<project name="First" default="build" basedir=".">
<target name="build" >
<javac srcdir="."
debug="false"
optimize="false"
includes="**/*.java"
/>
</target>
</project>- A project has three attributes: name the name of the project. default the default target to use when no target is supplied. basedir the base directory from which all path calculations are done
- Each project defines one or more targets which are a set of task elements you want to execute
- When starting ant, you can select which target(s) you want to have executed
