Run selenium with Ant

Question

I looked on Google and here on stackoverflow, but couldn't find it.

I know it is possible, to start the selenium standalone server with an Ant script.

I'm trying to do it now for a half of a day.

The only thing what the script should do is:

Start the selenium standalone sever
Go to 1 web URL in Firefox
shutdown

But where can I put the URL, because this is checking if the Server is up: Another point is that this code is a little messy and is for testing of selenium scripts.. I only want to go to an URL.. Nothing more nothing less. — Danny Gloudemans, May 15 '12 at 12:34

I used the following solution to start the selenium standalone server with Ant:

<target name="selenium">
    <exec executable="cmd">
        <arg value="/c"/>
        <arg value="java -jar ${selenium.standalone} -htmlSuite ${selenium.browser} ${selenium.url} ${selenium.testsuite} ${selenium.result}"/>
    </exec>
</target>
