<h3>Optional Tasks</h3> |
|
|
|
<p>Ant supports a number of optional tasks. An optional task is a task which |
|
|
|
typically requires an external library to function. The optional tasks are |
|
|
|
packaged separately from the core Ant tasks. This package is available in |
|
|
|
the same download directory as the core ant distribution. The current |
|
|
|
jar containing optional tasks is named <code>jakarta-ant-1.3-optional.jar</code>. |
|
|
|
This jar should be downloaded and placed in the lib directory of your Ant |
|
|
|
installation.</p> |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The external libraries required by each of the optional tasks is detailed |
|
|
|
in the <a href="#librarydependencies">Library Dependencies</a> section. These external |
|
|
|
libraries may either be placed in Ant's lib directory, where they will be picked up |
|
|
|
automatically, or made available on the system CLASSPATH environment variable. |
