What is it? |
|
|
|
|
|
----------- |
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
Antidote is the Java based GUI interface to the Ant build tool. |
|
|
|

|
Status |
|
|
|
|
|
------ |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Antidote is in the early stages of development. Its usefulnes is limited, and |
|
|
|
|
|
will not be distributed with the binary versions of Ant until it is deemed |
|
|
|
|
|
featureful and robust enough for end user use. That being said, it currently |
|
|
|
|
|
will load an Ant build.xml file, allow you to edit some of the file's |
|
|
|
|
|
properties, save it, and launch a build starting at any target in the |
|
|
|
|
|
project. |

The Latest Version |
|
|
|
|
|
------------------ |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The latest version is the current CVS version, which may or may not be useful |
|
|
|
|
|
at any given time. The source code is not being base-lined at any specific |
|
|
|
|
|
version at this time. |

Documentation |
|
|
|
|
|
------------- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Any documentation that exists for Antidote can be found in the antidote/docs |
|
|
|
|
|
directory. Documentation is primarily developement based documentation as |
|
|
|
|
|
Antidote is not yet mature enough for reliable user documentation. |
|
|
|

|
Building |
|
|
|
|
|
-------- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Antidote requres JAXP 1.0.1 from Sun (http://java.sun.com/xml). Some time in |
|
|
|
|
|
the future it is hoped at any w3c based XML will be usable, but at the |
|
|
|
|
|
current time the Sun library is needed. The easiest way to install the |
|
|
|
|
|
jaxp.jar and parsers.jar file that comes with the distribution is to copy |
|
|
|
|
|
them into your $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext directory. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There is a build.xml file in the same directory as this file that will work |
|
|
|
|
|
with Ant 1.2. It is recommended that Ant be built first (from ../..), |
|
|
|
|
|
followed by this directory. By default, the compiled classes will be written |
|
|
|
|
|
to ~/built/antidote/classes, but the JAR file and launch scripts are written |
|
|
|
|
|
to the Ant build directory (~/build/ant). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Running |
|
|
|
|
|
------- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Antidote requires at least Java 1.2 to run. It will *not* work with JVM |
|
|
|
|
|
version Blackdown-1.3.0-RC1, but Blackdown-1.3.0-FCS does work. So upgrade. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Upon successful building of Ant and Antidote (in that order), go to |
|
|
|
|
|
~/build/ant/bin and run "antidote". You will probably have to set the |
|
|
|
|
|
environment variable "ANT_HOME" to "~/build/ant" in the shell that you launch |
|
|
|
|
|
antidote from. If desired, you can provide the build file to launch at statup |
|
|
|
|
|
as the first argument on the command line to "antidote". |
