使用ant构建有依赖库的项目

我们来看看一个build脚本

<project xmlns:ivy="antlib:org.apache.ivy.ant"
       name="dateUtilsProject" default="main" basedir=".">
	<description>
		Create a Java Project (JAR) with Ant build script
	</description>

	<property name="projectName" value="DateUtils" />
	<property name="src.dir" location="src" />
	<property name="build.dir" location="bin" />
	<property name="dist.dir" location="dist" />
	<property name="dist.lib.dir" location="dist/lib" />
	<property name="lib.dir" value="lib" />
	<property name="main-class" value="com.mkyong.core.utils.DateUtils" />

	<!-- ivy start -->
	<!-- ivy to get dependencies and copy to project lib folder automatically -->
	<target name="resolve" description="retrieve dependencies with ivy">
		<ivy:retrieve />
	</target>

	<!-- install ivy -->
	<target name="ivy" description="Install ivy">
		<mkdir dir="${user.home}/.ant/lib" />
		<get dest="${user.home}/.ant/lib/ivy.jar" src="http://search.maven.org/remotecontent?filepath=org/apache/ivy/ivy/2.4.0-rc1/ivy-2.4.0-rc1.jar" />
	</target>
	<!-- ivy end -->

	<target name="init">
		<mkdir dir="${build.dir}" />
	</target>

	<!-- external libraries classpath, we don't need sources and javadoc -->
	<path id="classpath">
		<fileset dir="${basedir}/">
			<include name="${lib.dir}/*.jar" />
			<exclude name="${lib.dir}/*sources.jar"/>
			<exclude name="${lib.dir}/*javadoc.jar"/>
		</fileset>
	</path>

	<!-- To work with external libraries, need classpath to compile -->
	<target name="compile" depends="init" description="compile the source ">
		<javac includeantruntime="false" srcdir="${src.dir}" destdir="${build.dir}" classpathref="classpath" />
	</target>

	<!-- constructs the external libraries classpath name -->
	<pathconvert property="classpath.name" pathsep=" ">
		<path refid="classpath" />
		<mapper>
			<chainedmapper>
				<flattenmapper />
				<globmapper from="*.jar" to="lib/*.jar" />
			</chainedmapper>
		</mapper>
	</pathconvert>

	<target name="copy-dependencies">
		<copy todir="${dist.lib.dir}">
			<fileset dir="${lib.dir}" includes="**/*.jar" excludes="**/*sources.jar, **/*javadoc.jar" />
		</copy>
	</target>

	<!-- jar it, and declares the ext libraries in manifest.mf file -->
	<target name="jar" depends="compile, copy-dependencies" description="package, output to JAR">

		<echo message="classpath.name : ${classpath.name} " />

		<mkdir dir="${dist.dir}" />
		<mkdir dir="${dist.lib.dir}" />

		<jar jarfile="${dist.dir}/${projectName}.jar" basedir="${build.dir}">
			<manifest>
				<attribute name="Main-Class" value="${main-class}" />
				<attribute name="Class-Path" value="${classpath.name}" />
			</manifest>
		</jar>
	</target>

	<target name="clean" description="clean up">
		<delete dir="${build.dir}" />
		<delete dir="${dist.dir}" />
	</target>

	<!-- Default, run this -->
	<target name="main" depends="clean, compile, jar" />

</project>

看起来很复杂,但还是比较简单的, 虽然在此之前我没学过ant, 现在也是看着build脚本学习的, 以后真正在项目使用ant还是需要去看doc的

首先我们看看

	<!-- ivy start -->
	<!-- ivy to get dependencies and copy to project lib folder automatically -->
	<target name="resolve" description="retrieve dependencies with ivy">
		<ivy:retrieve />
	</target>

我们在resolve中添加了ivy的检索, ivy就会

	<!-- install ivy -->
	<target
