Re: how to invoke ant via java

[Maik Dobryn]

Hi vivek,

have a look at the following class.

Best regards,

Maik


import java.io.File;
import org.apache.tools.ant.*;

public class AntExecuterImpl {

   private String buildFileName;
   private String executeTarget;

   private String buildDir = "";
   private String property = "";

   public void setBuildFileName( String s ) { buildFileName = s; };

   public void setExecuteTarget( String s ) { executeTarget = s; };

   public void setBuildDir( String s ) { buildDir = s; };

   public void setProperty( String s ) { property = s; };

   public void execute() {
      Project project = new Project();
      ProjectHelper projectHelper = ProjectHelper.getProjectHelper();

      project.init();
      project.setUserProperty( "ant.file",
            new File( buildFileName ).getAbsolutePath() );

      // if you want to send a value property to the buildfile:
      project.setProperty( "some.property", property );
      // or a location property:
      project.setProperty( "build.dir",
            new File( buildDir ).getAbsolutePath() );

      projectHelper.parse( project, new File( buildFileName ) );
      project.addBuildListener( createLogger() );
      project.executeTarget( executeTarget );
   }

   private static BuildLogger createLogger() {
      BuildLogger logger = null;

      logger = new DefaultLogger();

      logger.setMessageOutputLevel( Project.MSG_INFO );
      logger.setOutputPrintStream( System.out );
      logger.setErrorPrintStream( System.err );
      logger.setEmacsMode( false );

      return logger;
   }
}
