Thanks, alan.
I've used Ant in the past, mostly to compile things like Axis,
JXPath, UDDI4J, etc from the command line. How would I
run this Ant script from within a Java program?
For example, I run Java2WSDL by instantiating an Emitter
and invoking Emitter.emit() from within my Java program
(as opposed to running it as a command line task). Is
there a way I can do the same with Ant?
Thanks in advance.
