exe4j
task
that is provided in {exe4j installation directory}/bin/ant.jar
and set the projectfile
parameter to the exe4j config
file that you want to build.
To make the exe4j
task available to ant, you
must first insert a taskdef
element that tells
ant where to find the task definition. Here is an example of using the
task in an ant build file:
<taskdef name="exe4j" classname="com.exe4j.Exe4JTask" classpath="C:\Program Files\exe4j\bin\ant.jar"/> <target name="launcher"> <exe4j projectfile="myapp.exe4j"/> </target>
The taskdef
definition must occur only once per
ant-build file and can appear anywhere on the top level below the
project
element.
Note: it is not possible to copy the ant.jar
archive to
the lib
folder of your ant distribution. You have to reference a full
installation of exe4j in the task definition.
