Analysis with Ant
Apache Ant, ant in the command line, is one of the oldest Java build tools around. Chances are you might be using it already or have switched to a more modern system such as Maven or Gradle. To perform a Sonar analysis, you need to create a new Sonar Ant Task and define the configuration inside an ant script file. Then, add a new Ant target referencing the sonar configured task inside your project's build script and provide path information for source, binaries, and project libraries.
First, let's go through the installation process.
Installing Ant
In order to use Ant in conjunction with Sonar, the following requirements must be met:
- Ant 1.7.1 or higher
- Java 1.5 or higher
