Want an eclipse java project to run ant build files automatically
I wonder if it´s possible to write an ant script that creates a build(jar-file) automatic every time some modicifation is done in my project(repository)? If it´s possible anyone one that can help me or link me some good pages for this.
Thank you!
Have you considered the Ant task uptodate. This allow you to compare timestamps on a set of files to another. In your case you could compare all your src *.java files for example to your output jar. You would then be able to have this running in a loop which would give you the desired effect. Albeit in a fairly crude way.
This also has the benefit of not actually doing any work unless the src files have changed and can be applied to compilation as well to produce a java incremental build, that comes for "free" with other build tools.
