<\/h1>\nWhat is Ant-Contrib Tasks?<\/span><\/span><\/h1>\nThe Ant-Contrib project provides a collection of tasks and types that extend Ant to work as a scripting language as well as a build tool. <\/span><\/p>\nMany developers want more from Ant than the ability to define dependencies. Ant-Contrib adds extra functionality to let Ant act more like a programming lanuage.

<\/a>Installation<\/span><\/h2>\nSee the cc tasks for installation instructions for cpptasks. To install ant-contrib:<\/span><\/p>\n\n- Copy ant-contrib-0.3.jar<\/span> to the lib<\/span> directory of your Ant installation. If you want to use one of the tasks in your own project, add the lines <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
2.\u00a0 <\/span><taskdef resource=\"net\/sf\/antcontrib\/antcontrib.properties\"\/><\/span><\/pre>\nto your build file.<\/span><\/p>\n\n- Keep ant-contrib-0.3.jar<\/span> in a separate location. You now have to tell Ant explicitly where to find it (say in \/usr\/share\/java\/lib<\/span>): <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
