ant for building java applications

[navjeet]

Does rimu has ant (the build tool for java applications) in apt repository or do I need to install it myself. Anybody using ant?

Hi,

Ant is available from apt:

apt-cache showpkg ant
Package: ant
Versions:
1.6.2-2(/var/lib/apt/lists/http.us.debian.org_debian_dists_testing_contrib_bi nary-i386_Packages)

I haven't used it myself as I won't have enough memory to do anything interesting with ant and javac on the rimu-server (I host subversion on my server and do the ant stuff on a local pc).

Dave.

Thanks Dave. The nice folks at Rimu installed it for me for RHEL4 distro. Apt package was not there for ant for this distro.
