Is there any possibility to invoke ant with an Java-String without using a
real build.xml ???

if you want to use Ant without xml you may try =

1.Groovy / AntBuilder
http://groovy.codehaus.org/Ant+Integration+with+Groovy
or
2.Leafcutter
https://leafcutter.dev.java.net/

Stefan Bodewig: Not easily. Ant's projecthelper implementation wants to read from a File and you really need a file when you want to resolve relative paths and so on. You could write your own ProjectHelper implementation which isn't too hard to do, but in the end as soon as you want to do anything more complex in your build file, you'll probably end up writing to a file anyway.

Follow ups

Jan Bartel: Hi Stefan and Gilbert, thank you for your help :-) I suppose reimplementing the projecthelper would fit my requirements . Isn't there a way to set the basedir manually (programatically or with a tag) to cope with the problem of relative paths. leafcutter and groovy/AntBuilder seem to be very powerful libraries but at the moment I have to focus on XML .... Thank you Jan --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: user-unsubscribe@ant.apache.org
