I have implemented an echo server Client : connects to server, sends string data to server. Server : prints incoming data, sends back data to client
I need to run both server and client using ant in cmd.
How do I make the same build.xml file run both server and client. Can I set both targets in the same file or do I need to use different build.xml files.
Please find below, build.xml file that I am using, which runs the echo server. I need to run the EchoClient.java as well. How do I modify the file.
<property name="src.dir" value="src"/>
<property name="build.dir" value="build"/>
<property name="classes.dir" value="${build.dir}/classes"/>
<property name="jar.dir" value="${build.dir}/jar"/>
<property name="main-class" value="EchoServer"/>
<target name="clean">
<delete dir="${build.dir}"/>
</target>
<target name="compile">
<mkdir dir="${classes.dir}"/>
<javac srcdir="${src.dir}" destdir="${classes.dir}" includeantruntime="false"/>
</target>
<target name="jar" depends="compile">
<mkdir dir="${jar.dir}"/>
<jar destfile="${jar.dir}/${ant.project.name}.jar" basedir="${classes.dir}">
<manifest>
<attribute name="Main-Class" value="${main-class}"/>
</manifest>
</jar>
</target>
<target name="run" depends="jar">
<java jar="${jar.dir}/${ant.project.name}.jar" fork="true"/>
</target>
<target name="clean-build" depends="clean,jar"/>
<target name="main" depends="clean,run"/>
Use two targets in your build file. You can then choose which one to run when launching ANT:
First target
Second target
