[gk]

i have a root directory.

this root directory has

com.web package and compiled classes and a "lib" directory



c:\ROOT\com\web
c:\ROOT\lib
c:\ROOT\Main.java

i have a java program Main.java at C:\ROOT which imports those
packaged classes .


i want to run this Main.java program.

How do i write my build.xml ?

the below does not work



<java classname="Main">

<classpath>
<pathelement location="lots of jars"/>
<pathelement path="${java.class.path}"/>
</classpath>
</java>

</java>

YOu have to compile it first.

 

[gk]

the class has been compiled.
i have used the <javac tag in my build.xml. and it has been
compiled.

how to run the code ?

i have these peoperties.

<property name="src.dir" value="src"/>
<property name="classes.dir" value="classes"/>
<property name="lib.dir" value="lib"/>


what should i do to run a java program ?


in this example from the manual :
-------------------------

<java classname="Main">

<classpath>
<pathelement location="lots of jars"/>
<pathelement path="${java.class.path}"/>
</classpath>
</java>


what is java.class.path ? what should i write in my build.xml for this
?
what is location=? i have lots of jars in the lib directory. how do i
use it here ?


to run a java program in Ant , is it necessary to make JAR first ?


can you please provide a sample example build.xml about running a
java program ?

thank you
