I have a bunch of modules which I'd like to all have their own ant build files. However, modules have dependencies on other modules. What's the best way to define dependencies between build files? I've looked at the <import>, <ant>, and <antcall> tasks, but it seems like maybe there's a better way to do this. ...
I am looking to obfuscate our Java web app code within our existing Ant build script, but am running into problems around unit testing. I am obfuscating the code right after it has been compiled, before it is jar-ed and before the unit tests are ran. However, if I obfuscate my production code and not my test code, all my tests fail b...

I have switched to JUnit4.4 from JUnit3.8. I run my tests using ant, all my tests run successfully but test utility classes fail with "No runnable methods" error. The pattern I am using is to include all classes with name *Test* under test folder. I understand that the runner can't find any method annotated with @Test attribute. But the...
In ant you can do something like: <property name="version" value="${some.fake.version}" <shellscript shell="bash" dir="${build.dir}"> echo "some shell cmds" df -h ls * svn export http://svn.org/somedir </shellscript> Okay, that shell script doesn't do anything, I know, but how would I the property "version"...

We have at work a Hudson machine that acts as a build server for a Java Swing Project. The build process is based on Ant scripts (and not Maven).

I am trying to get ant4eclipse to work and I have used ant a bit, but not much above a simple scripting language.

Hi, I'm doing a project at uni and would like to create zip files which name (just a build number) increments after each successful build. What's the easiest way to do this? Is it a case of having to write a custom task or is there some built in functionality that will allow me to do this, simply and easily? I did have a look at the Z...

I have a war file (actually not my own, it's Apache ODE 1.2) that fails to deploy into WAS 6.1 because of a classloader issue - and a specific incompatibility with wsdl4j. If I manually edit the classloader for ODE and create a shared-library for wsdl4j1.6.1 it's all fine. However, the client has come back stating this is not acceptable...
Working with Ant's regular expressions system seems to give me no end of trouble. With enough work I can usually get it to work (and understand what I was doing wrong earlier). But not this time. I have a simple target wherein I want to extract the first element out of a property that contains one or more comma separated words, like this...
