What is Apache Ant?Ant is a Java-based build tool. In theory, it is kind of like Make, without Make's wrinkles and with the full portability of pure Java code. To be a bit more specific, a build tool is like a macro language where you can by configuring an XML build file tell Ant what he needs to do, this could be compiling source files, creating JAR/WAR/EAR files or to perform an deployment or start unit testing. This process can save quite a lot of time if you have to do a certain number of steps everytime when you want to compile, deploy and then test your software.My tutorials :None

Techniques and common solutions: Is it possible to use a seperate file for storing general properties?
How do i create Operating Specific property files? Is it possible to pass parameters from the command line to my build file? How can i remove everything (files and folder) under a folder without removing the folder itself? I am trying to remove SourceSafe control files (CVS files, editor backup files, etc.), but it doesn't seem to work, what's wrong? The program i am running using the 'java' command throws an exception but i do not see the complete stacktrace how to solve this? Project site & reference documentation: |
