Ant+Ivy for building java projects

Install Ant: download the ant package

tar zvxf apache-ant-1.9.4-bin.tar.gz

#in .bashrc file
#Ant
export ANT_HOME=/home/chase/runnable/apache-ant-1.9.4
export CLASSPATH=${ANT_HOME}/lib:${CLASSPATH}:.
export PATH=${ANT_HOME}/bin:${PATH}

 Install Ivy: download the latest Ivy package "apache-ivy-2.4.0-rc1-bin.tar.gz" and unpack

tar zvxf apache-ivy-2.4.0-rc1-bin.tar.gz 

it shows:

and then copy the jar to the ant/lib classpath:

chase@pc0:~/runnable/apache-ivy-2.4.0-rc1$ cp ivy-2.4.0-rc1.jar ../apache-ant-1.9.4/lib/

then Ant and Ivy is combined!!!!!!!!!!!

How to use Ant and Ivy together

for ant create a build.xml, for Ivy create an ivy.xml file. That is

this project is for building an xx.aj file. ant is for building and ivy is for reslove dependencies:

the build file is

<!-- Tracer / AP01

The ivy.xml is

<ivy-module version="2.4">
    <info organisation="ap" module="harvest"/>
    <dependencies>
      <dependency org="org.aspectj" name="aspectjrt" rev="1.8.4"/>
      <dependency org="org.aspectj" name="aspectjtools" rev="1.8.4"/>
      <dependency org="org.aspectj" name="aspectjweaver" rev="1.8.4"/>
      <dependency org="junit" name="junit" rev="4.10"/>
    </dependencies>
</ivy-module>

The src folder is the .aj file: src/dk/diku/tracer/Tracer.aj

The test folder is empty. After run

$ant clean build-all

is becomes:

in the build folder :

in the lib folder:

Then the aspectj advices are weaved into the apsensor.jar file which can be used in other java files.
