Hello David and Martin, Thank you for your answers. But, I was just wondering how can I do this, run ant, coding in JAVA. As I studied the Ant manual from Apache before, I could figure out how to run it in the command line, but I don't seem to be able to run ANT in Java coding.
So, is there a way to call the command ANT in Java coding? -- David Nemer On Mon, Mar 16, 2009 at 10:14 PM, Martin Gainty <mgai...@hotmail.com> wrote: > David > > make sure your class gets on the classpath before you use it with ant e.g. > > assume the java file is located in .\packageName\david.java > javac .\packageName\david.java > > assume the new class is packaged in david.jar > jar -cvf david.jar .\package\*.* > > ant -lib .\Path\To\david.jar -f build.xml > > HTH > Martin > ______________________________________________ > Verzicht und Vertraulichkeitanmerkung / Disclaimer and confidentiality note > > > Diese Nachricht ist vertraulich.
