| <H1>Running Ant buildfiles</H1> |
| |
| <p>To run an Ant buildfile in the Workbench: |
| </p> |
| <ol> |
| <li>In the Navigator view, select an XML file.</li> |
| <li>From the file's pop-up menu, select <b>Run Ant...</b>. The launch configuration |
| dialog opens.</li> |
| <li>Select one or more targets from the <b>Targets</b> tab. The order |
| in which you select the items is the order in which they will run. The order |
| is displayed in the <b>Target execution order</b> box at the bottom of the tab. |
| You can change the order of the targets by clicking the <b>Order...</b> button.</li> |
| <li>(Optional) Configure options on the other tabs. For example, on the <b>Main</b> tab, |
| type any required arguments in the <b>Arguments</b> field.</li> |
| <li>Click <b>Run</b>.</li> |
| </ol> |
| |
| <p>The Ant buildfile will run on the selected targets. Unless you disabled the <b>Capture |
| output</b> option on the <b>Main</b> tab, the console displays any applicable execution results |
| as the buildfile runs. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p>These steps create a persisted launch configuration. The newly created configuration will |
| appear in the launch history under <b>Run > External Tools</b> and will be available in the |
| launch configuration dialog which is opened by clicking <b>Run > External Tools > External Tools...</b>. |
