6.2. Using the tasks in build files

Adding the JBI tasks to build an Ant file
Copy link

Before you can use the JBI tasks in an Ant build file, you must add the tasks using a taskdef element, as shown in Example 6.5.

Example 6.5. Adding the JBI tasks to an Ant build file

...
<property name="fuseesb.install_dir" value="/home/fuse_esb"/> 1

<taskdef file="${fuseesb.install_dir}/ant/servicemix_ant_taskdef.properties"> 2
  <classpath id="fuseesb.classpath"> 3
    <fileset dir="${fuseesb.install_dir}">
       <include name="*.jar"/>
     </fileset>
     <fileset dir="${fuseesb.install_dir}/lib">
        <include name="*.jar"/>
      </fileset>
  </classpath>
</taskdef>
...
The build file fragment in Example 6.5 does the following:
1
Sets a property, fuseesb.install_dir, the installation directory for Red Hat JBoss Fuse
2
Loads the tasks using the ant/servicemix_ant_taskdef.properties
3
Sets the classpath to make all of the required jars from the Red Hat JBoss Fuse installation available
