build - a tool to build or clean up Java projects Copyright (C) 2001-2004 Potix Corporation. All Rights Reserved. Usage: build [command] [a=b] [project...] Commands: help show this message build.debug build the debug version (default) build.release build the release version (br: shortcut) clean clean up both debug and release clean.debug clean up the debug versin (cd: shortcut) clean.release clean up the debug versin (cr: shortcut) utest.debug unit-test the debug version (ud: shortcut) utest.release unit-test the release version (ur: shortcut) javadoc generates javadoc (doc: shortcut) verbose make ant in verbose mode continue allow unit test to continue even encountering failures unzip unzip ear/war into the deploy directory (as if unzip=true is specified) a=b any pair of definitions. It is useful to control unit test. Notes: * If no project specified, all projects in targetList are processed. * If no command specified, build.debug is assumed. * All arguments are case-sensitive * Projects cannot be named with any space * noear, verbose and continue, if specified, must be the first arguments, and the sequence is important. ---------- Files located under .: ---------- build.setting or build.setting.local Controls how to build. build.setting is ignored if build.setting.local exists. build.setting is part of SVN, while buil.setting.local is not. D.ON=true or D.ON=false Controls whether to turn on D.ON javadoc=~/prj/javadoc Specifies where to store Java apidocs. zipjs=true Optional. Default false. Controls whether to compress the JavaScript files. Note: a JavaScript file is compress only if zipjs=true AND it matches zipjs specified in the deploy file unzip=true Optional. Default: false. Controls whether to unzip files when deploying ear/war. The files to unzip are specified in the deploy file (see below) This flag cannot be overriden by specify the unzip command (see above) debug=false Optinal. Default: true if and only if D.ON is true Controls whether to generate debug info. optimize=true Optinal. Default: true if and only if D.ON is false Controls whether to optimize code generation. MANIFEST.MF (Must) Used if the project doesn't contain MANIFEST.MF ---------- Files located under the project directory: ---------- classpath Secifies the classpath to run ant. NOTE: it must be Unix format, i.e., separated by ':' version Specifies the version (only first line is used) format Specifies the resulted archive's format. It must be specified. ear The result archive is an ear. jar The result archive is a jar. NOTE: Only src/archive/META-INF and src/archive/metainfo is included! war The result archive is a war. NOTE: src/archive/META-INF and src/arhive/metainfo is excluded! deploy (Optional) Specifies how to deploy the result. If omitted, no deployment occurs. lib Deploy the result to dist/lib as a shared library. They are copied to server's lib if specified in server.libs. They are merged to ear if specified in earlib.libs. server Deploy the result to a server as a bean or web container. You must also specify a line: app=YourAppName When deploying to server, you could place an extra line in this file if you want to unzip ear into the deploy directory: unzip=true or unzip=we.jar,we.war Notice: this unzip option is enabled only if build.release is targeted or unzip=true is found in build.setting.local. war.libs (Optional) Specifies a list of libraries (one per line) under dist/lib/ext that shall be packed to the result war (format must be war). server.libs (Optional) Specifies a list of libraries (one per line) under dist/lib and dist/lib/ext that shall be copied to the server's lib directory. Used only deploy: server. ear.libs (Optional) Specifies A list of libraries (one per line) under dist/lib or dist/lib/ext that shall be packed to the result ear (format must be ear). Used only if format: ear. import.libs (Optional) Specifies a list of files (one per line) under dist/export that shall be packed to the result war (format must be war). Note: dist/export is generated if a project contains src/export. cactus.properties (Must if Web-based Unit Test) Specifies the information required by web-based unit test codes. class.test.local (Optional) Specifies a list of classes (one per line) that the unit test must test. If no classes specified at all, all classes registered in all AllTests.java files are tested.
