Can I use Ant instead of Maven in 2.x?
If you create a project using one of the basic archetypes in M5 and then run mvn appfuse:full-source, you can use a modified version of AppFuse Light’s build.xml to build/test/deploy your project. Below are the steps needed to add Ant support to a basic archetype: • Run mvn appfuse:full-source from your project’s directory • Download build.xml into your project. • Edit build.xml to replace occurrences of “appfuse-light” with your project’s name. • Download maven-ant-tasks-2.0.9.jar and copy it to a “lib” directory in your project. You will need to create this directory if it doesn’t already exist. We don’t plan on supporting Ant for modular archetypes. If someone wants to contribute Ant support for them and support it, we’ll be happy to add it.
