Example
Usage
Create build.xml with the following content −
<?xml version="1.0"?> <project name="TutorialPoint" default="info"> <import file="nested.xml" as="nested"/> <target name="info" depends="nested.echo"> </target> </project>
And a nested.xml with the following content −
<project>
<target name="setUp">
<property name="build.dir" value="build"/>
</target>
<target name="echo" depends="setUp">
<echo>build.dir is set as build</echo>
</target>
</project>
Above script will create an ear file in the current directory as myapp.ear.
Output
Running Ant on the above build file produces the following output −
F:tutorialspointant>ant Buildfile: F:tutorialspointantbuild.xml setUp: nested.echo: [echo] build.dir is set as build info: BUILD SUCCESSFUL Total time: 0 seconds
