Launching Ant Inside Java Program

Most of the time, we need to embed Ant in a java program. So if you need to call Ant task inside Java program, this piece of code will do it.

Required Jars:

Ant.jar
Ant-Launcher.jar
tools.jar*


you can get the jar file by just using the class org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launche through this Jar finder Website


Source Code:

import org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher;

public class LaunchAnt
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
String[] parameters = new String[2];

parameters[0]="-buildfile";

parameters[1] = "build.xml";

Launcher.main(parameters);

}

}


Note:
tools.jar will be available at the location

C:\ProgramFiles\ - Windows

usr/lib/jvm/ - Linux


Install Java in Linux

2012 End of the world?

This is a hottest question around the world and am no exception for that.Still there is no clear evidence about what is going to happen.Theoretically , the Mayan calendar ends.After that a new Era emerges, which will be similar to restarting the world. Assuming this as just an assumption. The Assumption is based on the fact that scientists believe that, the planets and other bodies in space, might undergo physical changes (Spiritual in case of Astrologers) which might cause a natural calamity.

Whenever i take a snap of something and hand over the device to some one, they touch some part of screen while receiving it and finally they complaint that they see a diff...
