Tutorial: Flexible User and Environment Ant Configuration

Flexible User and Environment Ant Configuration The de facto standard for building, packaging, and deploying Java applications is Apache Ant. Small differences in developers\' environments or preferences may cause problems with some Ant tasks that invo

Tutorial Details:

Local Properties
The Ant core tasks include the ability to load properties files, and to use the properties as build variables. Ant provides the ability to define and use build variables to hold directory and application values. The variables can be defined within the build script, the build.xml file, or can be defined externally, in a properties file. An interesting feature of Ant is that build variables will keep the original value if the variable is defined and redefined by the build file or external properties files.

All of the build variables in my build scripts are stored in a properties file called build.properties. The build.properties file holds all of the settings of a standardized default development environment. Any special settings are in a properties file named local.properties. Any property that is defined in local.properties redefines a property from build.properties. In my build script, I check for the existence of the local.properties file. If the file is available, I load it. Then I load the build.properties file. The properties from local.properties will have precedence over the properties from build.properties.
