The applet project build file.
Building the Applet with Ant

To build the applet, we need to navigate to the Applet directory, set up the environment, and then run Ant at the command line. First we build the applet:

 

C:\CVS\...\MVCHelloWorld\Applet>ant
Buildfile: build.xml
init: clean:
[delete] Deleting directory C:\tmp\app\lib

prepare:
[mkdir] Created dir: C:\tmp\app\applet\classes [mkdir] Created dir: C:\tmp\app\lib

compile:
[javac] Compiling 1 source file to C:\tmp\app\applet\classes
package:
[jar] Building jar: C:\tmp\app\lib\helloapplet.jar
all:
BUILD SUCCESSFUL Total time: 4 seconds

 

Now we clean the applet:

 

C:\CVS\...\MVCHelloWorld\Applet>ant clean
Buildfile: build.xml
init:

clean:
[delete] Deleting directory C:\tmp\app\applet\classes [delete] Deleting directory C:\tmp\app\lib

BUILD SUCCESSFUL
