One: Introduction:
Ant is a compilation tool for Jakarta if you know the makefile under Linux / Unix you are easy.
Understand the use of Ant. Ant is best for you to write a Java program using UltraEdit (editplus), then you use Ant to compile, and Javadoc generates a JAR, WAR, and Copy, which can realize files can be implemented in build.xml through different TAGER, or very convenient A stylish recommendation is used.
2: Download
You can download it from the address below to Ant, current version: 1.41
http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/jakarta-ant/release/v1.4.1/bin/
Three: Installation
A: Windows
1: Unfailed the file you downloaded, there will be a Jakarta-Ant (version number) directory generated, rename him to Ant
2: Copy Ant directory to the location you need.
3: Add: Ant_Home = Ant installation directory, Path plus $ ANT_HOME $ / in; note that you must have JDK installed, add Java_Home environment variable, and add $ JAVA_HOME $. / in;
B: Linux / UNIX
1: Unfailed the file you downloaded, there will be a Jakarta-Ant (version number) directory generated, rename him to Ant
2: Copy Ant directory to the location you need.
3: Add: Ant_Home = Ant installation directory, Path plus $ ANT_HOME $ / in; note that you must have JDK installed, add Java_Home environment variable, and add $ JAVA_HOME $. / in; Implement a modified environment variable you need to modify the .bash_profile file.
as follows
Ant_home = / usr / local / ant
Java_home = / usr / local / jdk
PATH = $ PATH: $ HOME / BIN: / USR / local / Ant / bin: / usr / local / jdk / bin
Export Path Ant_home java_home
Four: Write Build.xml
Build.xml is equivalent to Makefile under Linux, and the specific implementation is implemented in build.xml.
I give an example to explain it.
Build.xml
============================================================================================================================================================================================================= ==============
Building ...
destdir = "$ {javac.dest}" Classpath = "$ {classpath}" Debug = "on" /> FILTERING = "true" /> Manifest = "$ {jar.dest} /manifest.mf" /> destdir = "$ {javadoc.dest}" Classpath = "$ {classpath}" PackageNames = "$ {packagelist}" Version = "True" protected = "true" Author = "True" Use = "true" WINDOWTITLE = "Bingo Free Java Code Version $ {Version}" Header = "Bingo Free Java Code $ {Version}" />
