ant(1)							      General Commands Manual							    ant(1)

NAME

       ant - a Java based make tool.

SYNOPSIS

       ant [OPTIONS] [TARGET [TARGET2 [TARGET3] ...]]

DESCRIPTION

       Like  make  ant is a tool by which projects can be build. But unlike it, ant is based on Java which means it will run on every platform for
       which a Java Virtual Machine is available. This makes it a great tool for building Java software.

       By default it takes information from build.xml which describes the targets.

       -help, -h
	      print help on the command line options

       -projecthelp, -p
	      print project help information

       -version
	      print the version information

       -diagnostics
	      print information that might be helpful to diagnose or report problems

       -quiet, -q
	      be extra quiet

	      add an instance of the given class as a project listener

       -noinput
	      do not allow interactive input

       -buildfile, -file, -f <file>

	      execute all targets that do not depend on failed target(s)

       -inputhandler <class>
	      the class which will handle input requests

       -find, -s <file>
	      search for buildfile towards the root of the filesystem and use it

       -nice <number>
	      A niceness value for the main thread: 1 (lowest) to 10 (highest); 5 is the default

       -nouserlib
	      Run ant without using the jar files from ${user.home}/.ant/lib

       -noclasspath
	      Run ant without using CLASSPATH

       -autoproxy
