Apache Ant is a Java library and command-line tool that help
|
|
building software.
|
|
|
|
Ant is extended using Java classes. The configuration files are
|
|
XML-based, calling out a target tree where tasks get executed. Each
|
|
task is run by an object that implements a Task interface.
|
|
|
|
This package is using upstream's recommendation of
|
|
ANT_HOME=/usr/share/ant
|
|
|
|
apache-ant uses `javac` and friends to compile java projects. If you
|
|
use the stock 'gcc-java' package, then you will need to export the
|
|
JAVA_HOME environment variable, and make it point to the Java5 run-time
|
|
provided by the GNU Compiler Collection, e.g.:
|
|
|
|
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm (for Slackware, 32-bit)
|
|
|
|
or:
|
|
|
|
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib64/jvm (for Slackware64)
|
|
|
|
If you need a more recent Java run-time, then any of the jdk or openjdk
|
|
packages from slackbuilds.org will work just fine.
