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
