Overview

Ant projects are used to build software with the Apache Ant build tool. Ant is commonly used to build Java projects, but can also be used to build software written in other languages.

Ant Command and Post-Processing

Ant projects define a single recipe which executes a single ant command. This command will run ant post-processing by default, in order to capture common warning and error messages.

Locating Ant

Ant projects make use of the ant command, and thus the ant binary is located as described in the documentation for that command. In addition, an ant project will import a resource named "ant" if it exists. This facility may be used in conjunction with the ant command's use of the property "ant.bin" to control the ant binary used. Via resource auto-discovery, your pulse™ server may locate ant and set up an appropriate resource for you.
