  Why Build Scripts? § For large enterprise systems using the IDE is not sufficient for building § Complicated Builds § Automatic Nightly Builds § Special Build Machines § Important to be able to separate build and development

  What is Ant? § ANT is a tool to build programs § “make” tool § Uses XML file to describe the solution § Default file is build.xml § Uses Java classes to run tasks § Built-in tasks § Jakarta project § http://ant.apache.org § Current version 1.8.2 § Installation guidelines are on the course web

  Running Ant §Usage ant [options] [target [target2 [target3] ...]] § Target can be selected § Default is used if target is not specifed § Examples >ant -buildfile test.xml >ant -buildfile test.xml dist >ant -buildfile test.xml -Dbuild=build/classes dist

  Using Ant §Each build file is one project (one output) § Build file is XML file (for example build.xml) § Project has § Name § Default target § Basedir § One or more target § Target <project name="MyProject" </project> § Target is a collection of tasks § Task depend on other tasks default="dist" basedir="."> ... <target name="A"/> <target name="B" depends="A"/> <target name="C" depends="B"/> <target name="D" depends="C,B,A"/>

  Using Ant §Properties § Have names and values <property name="dist" value="dist"/> § Referenced with ${property} § Example: <target name="dist" depends="compile"> <mkdir dir="${dist}/lib"/> <jar jarfile="${dist}/lib/MyProject.jar" basedir="${build}"/> </ target>

  Example build.xml file Import Contents Process

  Structure § Workspace § build.xml § src/java – contains the Java files § src/msg – contains resource bundles § lib/ - contains libraries (jar files) § Ant made directories § classes/ - compiled Java files – class files § dist/ - distributable - jar files § JAR file § dist/ImportContentProcess.jar
