Scripting

1. Ant My notes on -> Min Ant

A new ant script is created e.g. buildHudson.xml that triggers the target(assign1.test) of main build file(build.xml) of the project. See below:

<project name="assign1" basedir="." default="myTarget">
  <target name="assign1.build.call">
    <!-- Call the target that does everything -->
    <ant antfile="build.xml" target="assign1.test"/>
   </target>
  <target name="myTarget.check" depends="assign1.build.call">
    <echo>The assign1.build was called!</echo>
  </target>
</project>

Challenges

1. I was receiving an error message while trying to do a new build on Hudson. It didn't let to clone the project on Hudson workspace. The error message is "Access is denied". So I had to delete the project and create a new one. Apparently one of the reasons is that Hudson doesn't let you queue the jobs. So, if you interrupt a job that is scheduled, you'll get the error message.
