ws_ant command

This topic describes where to find information about the ws_ant command, which is provided for using with Apache Ant, a Java-based build tool that is popular among Java programmers.

In theory, Ant is similar to Make, but Ant is different. Instead of a model in which it is extended with shell-based commands, Ant is extended using Java classes. Instead of writing shell commands, XML-based configuration files are used. These files reference a target tree in which various tasks are run. Each task is run by an object that implements a particular Task interface.

For the Apache Ant tool that is provided by this product, see the following file:
install_root/bin/ws_ant.bat|sh
