Leo, It depends on how complicated your system is. You can start with one and as things get more complicated refactor it. I wouldn't use anything quite like Makefiles, but you may want to have several ant files each with common targets (like compile, jar, clean, etc). That way you can have one

For now, you can do this: 1)Under your ant installation directory, create the following directory: cd $ANT_HOME mkdir taskdefs 2)Extract the defaults.properties file from the lib/ant.jar into your taskdefs dir: cd taskdefs jar -xf ../lib/ant.jar org/apache/tools/ant/taskdefs/defaults.propertie

Adding a custom task to default.properties

A request . . . . I believe that the only two ways of defining the association between a custom ant task and the class which contains the logic for the task are to include a statement in every build.xml which uses the task, or to modify the org/apache/tools/ant/taskdefs/default.properties. Inc

Assuming that you're VAX is running a flavor of VMS, you'll have to vary your syntax some more. Most VMS ftps would do some type of file mapping, but I don't know if ANT turns that on. Directories and files on VMS look like this: DISK1:[HOME.GENTLEJK]login.com IIRC, the TGV Multinet
