- Ant in Anger: Using Ant in a Production Development System by Steve Loughran - [Clicks: 35]
This document describes strategies and some basic examples of how to use Ant in larger team development projects.

The given example demonstrates the simplicity and flexibility of using Ant-driven build scenarios for your custom software automation. It shows how the same Ant script can be called from the command prompt as well as from a GUI, or even from inside of the Web container.

This article describes my modified versions of Mark's software installation script and Ant build file. Hopefully this will inspire you to use Ant for other creative tasks.

Most J2EE (Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition) and other types of Java applications interact in some way with information persisted in a database. Interfacing with that database involves several iterations of SQL statements, connection management, transaction lifecycles, result processing, and exception handling. The many parts of this ritualistic dance are common in all contexts
[ however, this replication doesn't have to exist. In this article, Ryan Daigle outlines a flexible framework that remedies the repetition of interacting with a JDBC (Java Database Connectivity)-compliant database.]

We discovered that Ant has some minor flaws in handling one-to-many file dependencies, and that the only way to guarantee that Ant calls the code generator is to make sure that Ant calls the code generator on every build. In addition, we found that Ant could also be used to solve a smaller (but more common) problem, in which you must explicity provide Javadoc with a list of packages being documented. Both of these problems can be solved, but only by writing our own Ant Task objects to handle them, as we'll see in this article.

This article will show the use of Ant when working with a tool like the Java API for XML Binding (JAXB), and in the process show how JAXB can be used with packages, a feature not demonstrated in the examples provided in the JAXB distribution.

This document covers how to write ant tasks to a standard required to be incorporated into the Ant distribution. You may find it useful when writing tasks for personal use as the issues it addresses are still there in such a case.

- Using Ant and CVS for multi-developer projects by Kief Morris - [Clicks: 47]
If you have multiple developers working together on a Java project, Ant and CVS are essential tools for managing your source code and building projects. This article outlines some best practices for setting up and running Java development projects using Ant and CVS.
