Ant

• Ant vs Maven

<project name="<name of the project>">
  <property name="source.root" value="src"/>
</project>

<target name="<name>" description="<description">
  .. do stuff ..
</target>

Targets can depend on other targets e.g.

<target name="A"/>
<target name="B" depends="A"/>
<target name="C" depends="B"/>
<target name="D" depends="C,B,A"/>

<property name=”name” value=”value”/>

A task is something that is executed. It has the format:

<name att1='val1' att2='val2' ....>
  .. some properties ..
</name>

  <replace dir="${source.root}">
    <include name="**/*.hbm.xml"/>
    <replacetoken><![CDATA[<generator class="assigned" />]]></replacetoken>
    <replacevalue><![CDATA[ <generator class="sequence">
       			    <param name="sequence">BASE.</param>
		      </generator></replacevalue>
		      ]]></replacevalue>
  </replace>
