hi all,
Thanks jan for the reply.
When I run ant with -projecthelp option, it says something like this.
prompt>>ant -projecthelp
Buildfile: build.xml
Sample ant file for demonstration purpose
Main targets:
Other targets:
ant_sample
import_ant
say_hai
spawn_ant
Default target: ant_sample
Now what is the diff. between Main targets and Other targets. How do I make a
target as Main target and what is the purpose of it ?
Bst rgds

yes
using AntContribs cc tasks, <exec> ...
But for more infos ... not my topic ;-)

What means "maintained" ... some Ant committers are also in the AC-team.
And AC-questions are done here also. Only the repository is at sourceforge.

s/java/javac/
* Why use Ant not invoking the tools from the command line? Because
it´s easier ....
* <exec> needs an executable while <javac> accesses the compiler from tools.jar
* better support
** nested src-paths (e.g. filesets)
** compiler settings
* <javac> works as a facade to several compilers, JDK 1.3, 1.4, 5.0, Jikes...
