31 Ant Task

The bnd.jar file can also be used as an ANT task. The following example shows how you can use it from an ANT file.

 <target name="build"> 
   <taskdef resource="aQute/bnd/ant/taskdef.properties"
      classpath="bnd.jar"/> 
   <bnd 
      classpath="src" 
      eclipse="true" 
      failok="false" 
      exceptions="true" 
      files="test.bnd"/> 
 </target>

You can set the following attributes:

Attribute	Description
classpath	Comma separated list of file names. File paths are relative from the ant project file.
eclipse	True or false. True if the eclipse .classpath file should be read (default).
failok	Succeed even if there are errors.
exceptions	If errors occur, show the exception stack trace.
files	A comma separated list of bnd files
sourcepath	A source path
output	Where the output should go

The following tasks have also been added:
