Hello Readers..

In this blog I am giving an example that how can we create an build.xml file for performing clean,compile and run by using ANT.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project name="AntProject" basedir="." default="run">

<property name="src.dir" value="${basedir}" />
<property name="build.dir" value="${basedir}/build" />
<property name="classes.dir" value="${build.dir}/classes" />
<property name="jar.dir" value="${build.dir}/jar" /> 

<target name="clean">
<delete includeemptydirs="true">
<fileset dir="${build.dir}">
<include name="**/*" />
</fileset>
</delete>
</target>

<target name="compile" depends="clean">
<echo message="inside compile" />
<mkdir dir="${build.dir}" />
<mkdir dir="${classes.dir}" />
<javac includeantruntime="false" srcdir="${src.dir}" destdir="${classes.dir}" />
</target>

<target name="run" depends="compile">
<echo message="inside run" />
<java classname="AntPackage.AntClass">
<classpath path="${classes.dir}" />
</java>
</target>
</project>

Note:- This above mention build.xml code is based on my machine. You can make changes as per your requirement or convenience.
