Configuring Ant

After installing Ant as described in the section Apache Ant, you have to set the ANT_HOME environment variable and update your PATH variable.

Here are example settings for the Unix and Windows platforms:

• Unix platforms: Assuming that you installed Ant in the /usr/local/apache-ant-[version] directory, you should enter the following commands:

  bash>export ANT_HOME=/usr/local/apache-ant-[version] bash>export PATH=${PATH}:${ANT_HOME}/bin

  or

  tcsh>setenv ANT_HOME /usr/local/apache-ant-[version] tcsh>setenv PATH ${PATH}:${ANT_HOME}/bin

• Windows platforms: Assuming that you installed Ant in the C:\apache-ant-[version] directory, you should enter the following commands:

  C:>set ANT_HOME=c:\apache-ant-[version] C:>set PATH=%PATH%;%ANT_HOME%\bin

  Note that if you want to set this variable permanently, use the method described in the section Setting Up Your Java Environment.
