Eclipse and Ant

1. Go to the group of slides Eclipse and Ant, Slide 5, etc.

2. Then follow step-by-step all instructions in slides, trying to repeat (understand and remember) everything what was demonstrated in lectures.

3. The most important considerations are in Slides 22-38 on importing Ant project ch04.

After importing ch04 run and running mybuild.xml (according to Slides 30), you can see the result of testing as HTML report.

Note that double clicking on this report (index.html) in the package explorer of Eclipse, opens a browser window within Eclipse .

After doing all of this you will be ready to start using Ant from inside of Eclipse.
