An Ant Modular Build Environment for Enterprise Applications (O'ReillyNet)

[Posted June 24, 2005 by cook]

Les A. Hazlewood discusses Ant in an O'Reilly article. "Most Java developers already use Ant for their builds, but are you getting everything you could out of this tool? With a complex enterprise application, in which classes may be used in several tiers, it's important to control where the code lives and how it gets built, so you can build .jars with just the code needed for each tier. Les Hazlewood shows how this approach leads to faster builds and downloads, and even catches errant dependencies."
