Calling ant from java
public static void main(String[] args) {
String arr[] = null;
arr = new String[2];
arr[0] = "-buildfile";
arr[1] = "C:\\workspace\\my projects\\ANTTASKS\\bin\\build.xml";
try {
Launcher launcher = new Launcher();
launcher.main(arr);
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println(e.getMessage());
// TODO: handle exception
}
},
I tried calling ant from java. But the problem is that, i am not sure how to get the handle of error & input stream from this.
I also need to know how do I kill the ant executable if there is some kind of exception like ConnectionTimeOut or is there any some kind of timeout mechanism.
Earlier i was calling ant as an external process like Process P = new Process(), where p.execute("ant.bat xxxxx"). I used to get the error & input stream from the process itself.
Please help!!!
thanks
