Bug ID: 60312
Summary: Create, or document how to embed Ant in Java
Product: Ant
Version: unspecified
Hardware: PC
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: Core
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
It is no unusual requirement, to invoke an Ant script from within a Java class.
This procedure is, what I would describe as ("Embed Ant in Java").
To support such a use case, there shuld be an EmbeddedAnt bean, or something
similar, with methods like getBuildFile(), setBuildFile(File pFile), and the
like, which does just that. However, AFAIK, there is no such thing.
In the "Running Apache Ant" document
(https://ant.apache.org/manual/running.html), there's a section "Running Ant
via Java". However, that advice is close to unusable. It suggests either of the
classes Main, or Launcher. Neither of these is suited for embedding, because
they both invoke System.exit(), which is clearly not allowed in an embedded
solution.
This request is to create a solution for embedding Ant. Or, if such a solution
exists, have it documented.
Thanks,
Jochen
