Ant Script Property Sheet
See Also
You open the Ant script property sheet from an Ant script
node in the Filesystems window. An Ant script has the following properties:
Properties
- Basic node information like the file name, size, and the list of actual
files represented by the Filesystems window node.
Ant Project
- Project Name. The internal name of the Ant project.
- Default Target. The default target that is run when the file is executed.
- Base Directory. The base directory from which all path calculations
are done. If this property is not specified, Ant uses the parent directory
of the Ant script.
- Build Sequence (Read-Only). The Ant script's build sequence as specified
by the script's build dependencies.
- Project Properties. The properties used
by the Ant script. These properties are stored in an external .ant.properties
file. If no external properties file is defined, the property displays <Open
Properties File Wizard>. Click the property to open a wizard in which
you can create a new properties file.
- Switch Properties File. The external properties file referenced by
the Ant script. The combo box lists all of the .ant.properties files
in the same directory as the Ant script. You can switch the properties file
that the Ant script references by selecting a new file in this property.
Execution
- Compiler. The compiler type used by the Ant script. Generally this
should be set to (do not compile). If you are using a mix of Ant and the IDE's
native compilation to compile a project, you may want to set the Compiler
property to Ant Script Compilation. For more information, see Setting Ant as the Default Compiler Type for a Project.
- Executor. The execution type used by the Ant script. Generally this
should be set to Ant Script Execution. Set to (do not execute) to disable
execution for the Ant script.
