6.2.3 Jakarta Ant overview

Another benefit of using WebSphere Studio Application Developer is its ability to

work with third-party components such as Jakarta’s Ant. Ant is a powerful build

tool that assists users in the creation, packaging, and deployment of J2EE

Enterprise Applications. We used Ant in our sample scenario to automate the

creation and deployment of the sample store archive. We modified the necessary

XML configuration files for the store archive and then configured Ant to package

and deploy the end result. Ant is shipped with WebSphere Studio Application

Developer and already configured and ready to use when you start up your

workspace.

For information on Ant, refer to the following URL:
