65. Spring Boot AntLib module

The Spring Boot AntLib module provides basic Spring Boot support for Apache Ant. You can use the module to create executable jars. To use the module you need to declare an additional spring-boot namespace in your build.xml:

<project xmlns:ivy="antlib:org.apache.ivy.ant"
    xmlns:spring-boot="antlib:org.springframework.boot.ant"
    name="myapp" default="build">
    ...
</project>

You’ll need to remember to start Ant using the -lib option, for example:

$ ant -lib <folder containing spring-boot-antlib-1.4.1.BUILD-SNAPSHOT.jar>

	Tip
The “Using Spring Boot” section includes a more complete example of using Apache Ant with spring-boot-antlib
