ant实用手册(三)——ant中的task

1. 什么是ant中的task
   ant通过任务实现其功能，比如：编译通过javac任务实现，打jar包通过jar任务完成等等
2. ant中的常用任务：
   • javac：编译java代码
   • jar：打包class文件为jar
   • war：为web项目打包
   • zip：打包为zip文件
   • copy：复制文件或目录
   • delete：删除文件或目录
   • mkdir：创建文件夹
   • echo：输出信息
   • ftp：通过ftp传输文件
   • scp：通过scp传输文件

   Archive Tasks	[Back to top]

   Task Name	Description
   BUnzip2	Expands a file packed using GZip or BZip2.
   BZip2	Packs a file using the GZip or BZip2 algorithm. This task does not do any dependency checking; the output file is always generated
   Cab	Creates Microsoft CAB archive files. It is invoked similar to the Jar or Zip tasks. This task will work on Windows using the externalcabarc tool (provided by Microsoft), which must be located in your executable path.
   Ear	An extension of the Jar task with special treatment for files that should end up in an Enterprise Application archive.
   GUnzip	Expands a GZip file.
   GZip	GZips a set of files.
   Jar	Jars a set of files.
   Jlink	Deprecated. Use the zipfileset and zipgroupfileset attributes of theJar or Zip tasks instead.
   Manifest	Creates a manifest file.
   Rpm	Invokes the rpm executable to build a Linux installation file. This task currently only works on Linux or other Unix platforms with RPM support.
   SignJar	Signs a jar or zip file with the javasign command-line tool.
   Tar	Creates a tar archive.
   Unjar	Unzips a jarfile.
   Untar	Untars a tarfile.
   Unwar	Unzips a warfile.
   Unzip	Unzips a zipfile.
   War	An extension of the Jar task with special treatment for files that should end up in theWEB-INF/lib,WEB-INF/classes, orWEB-INF directories of the Web Application Archive.
   Zip	Creates a zipfile.

   Audit/Coverage Tasks	[Back to top]

   Task Name	Description
   JDepend	Invokes the JDepend parser. This parser "traverses a set of Java source-file directories and generates design-quality metrics for each Java package".

   Compile Tasks	[Back to top]

   Task Name	Description
   Depend	Determines which classfiles are out-of-date with respect to their source, removing the classfiles of any other classes that depend on the out-of-date classes, forcing the re-compile of the removed classfiles. Typically used in conjunction with theJavac task.
   Javac	Compiles the specified source file(s) within the running (Ant) VM, or in another VM if thefork attribute is specified.
   Apt	Runs the annotation processor tool (apt), and then optionally compiles the original code, and any genera
