I'm using Ant to build some Java projects. In some, I've got a lib/ directory, which contains external dependencies, in the form on JAR files. During the build, I create a bundled jar, that contains the project's code, alongside the dependencies, by adding to the bundle jar file a zipfileset for each of the jars in the lib/ directory. ...

I would like it so that each time I push "Run Project" (F6) my project is run as root, so with the equivalent of "gksudo javac Main", as it is has a GUI. One option is to start netbeans with root privileges, easily done by editing the short...
How do I get the location of rt.jar in my Ant script with NetBeans without editing my project.properties? ${java.home} is returning the location of the jre folder and not the jdk folder.

Is there a well-established way to share Ant targets between projects? I have a solution currently, but it's a bit inelegant. Here's what I'm doing so far. I've got a file called ivy-tasks.xml hosted on a server on our network. This file contains, among other targets, boilerplate tasks for managing project dependencies with Ivy. For exa...
Hi All I have an Ant build that has this line in it: WORKSPACE.dir = ${basedir}/../ I then have: CORE_PROJECT.dir= ${WORKSPACE.dir}/UUI_Core which means that I end up with paths like this: C:\dev\workspaces\RTC\UUI_Core_ANT/..//UUI_Core This works fine in almost all cases but I am trying to build a list of classes to be used in a ...

E.g. if my directory is "/base/modules/clinicalcontext", the directory of one of the dependencies is sim...

I have a number of file/executable locations that are likely to be different depending on which computer I am running them on, and I would like to abstract these out through ant properties somehow. What's the best way to do this? Is there a system-wide ant setup script that gets called? Or can I make such a script? ...
