Extending Ant to support interactive builds Hits: 17 ***** 0.0 Ant, from Jakarta project at       the Apache Foundation, has       become a de facto standard       for building Java       projects. You may       already be using it to       create automatic builds.       It's easy enough to tailor       those builds to your needs       by customizing the build       files; but what if you want       to wait until run time to       set certain properties? This       article shows you how to       extend Ant to produce builds       that are interactive at run       time; users can follow       prompts to change parameters       each time they conduct a       build without having to deal       with unfamiliar build files.       You can incorporate this       functionality into your       builds to provide a smoother       and more flexible experience       for your end users.       Date: Nov, 28 2001
