<h2><a name="running">Running Ant</a></h2> | |||||
<p>Running Ant is simple, when you installed it as described in the previous | |||||
section. Just type <code>ant</code>.</p> | |||||
<p>When nothing is specified, Ant looks for a <code>build.xml</code> | |||||
file in the current directory. If found, it uses that file as the | |||||
buildfile. If you use the <code>-find</code> option, | |||||
Ant will search for a buildfile in | |||||
the parent directory, and so on, until the root of the filesystem | |||||
has been reached. To make Ant use | |||||
another buildfile, use the command-line | |||||
option <code>-buildfile <i>file</i></code>, | |||||
where <i>file</i> is the buildfile you want to use.</p> | |||||
<p>You can also set properties that override properties specified in the | |||||
buildfile (see the <a href="CoreTasks/property.html">property</a> task). | |||||
This can be done with | |||||
the <nobr><code>-D<i>property</i>=<i>value</i></code></nobr> option, | |||||
where <i>property</i> is the name of the property, | |||||
and <i>value</i> is the value for that property. | |||||
This can also be used to pass in the value of some environment variables. | |||||
You can also access environment variables using the <a href="CoreTasks/property.html"> | |||||
property</a> task. | |||||
Just pass <nobr><code>-DMYVAR=%MYVAR%</code></nobr> (Windows) or | |||||
<nobr><code>-DMYVAR=$MYVAR</code></nobr> (Unix) | |||||
to Ant - you can then access | |||||
these variables inside your buildfile as <code>${MYVAR}</code>.</p> | |||||
<p>Two more options are: <nobr><code>-quiet</code></nobr>, | |||||
which instructs Ant to print less | |||||
information on the console when running, and | |||||
<nobr><code>-verbose</code></nobr>, which causes Ant to print | |||||
additional information to the console.</p> | |||||
<p>It is also possible to specify one or more targets that should be executed. | |||||
When omitted, the target that is specified in the | |||||
<code>default</code> attribute of the <code><project></code> tag is | |||||
used.</p> | |||||
<p>The <nobr><code>-projecthelp</code></nobr> | |||||
option gives a list of this project's | |||||
