No, I do not mean just jar files, and yes, I used ant some ten years ago while working on a fairly large Java project.
What I mean is this: I have an Eclipse Android Application project that depends on several Eclipse Android Library projects. Some of those Eclipse Android Library projects depend on one another. There is a way to generate Ant build scripts for existing Eclipse Android projects by running "android" on the command line with appropriate command line arguments. This generates a build.xml that relies on a rules file defined in the Android SDK. So, will building the main Android application with ant, using the build script generated for it by "android...." -- build the Android libraries that the main project depends on? -- or do those Android libraries have to be built first with some higher level script? And if the answer is yes, does it really work, or does it "sort of work most of the time", like Android library projects in Eclipse? Is that any more clearer now? -- Kostya 14 декабря 2011 г. 20:39 пользователь Lew <[email protected]> написал: > Generated scripts?
