I have been able to successfully compile and run this project using ant. But when i try to run my test files, it gives me a strange Reference ./lib/junit-4.11.jar not found. I probably am doing something wrong in the refid that i have to mention in the junit task. Please point out the mistake.

The problem is with your junit classpath elements. The refid attribute allows you to refer to a predefined reference and ant is notifying you that there is no such reference. Additionally, you should have only one classpath element under the junit task (it may work with more than one, but the documentation supports only one).
Remove those classpath elements and replace them with
<classpath>
<pathelement location="lib/junit-4.11.jar"/>
<pathelement location="test/BooksController"/>
</classpath>
and it should work. Here we build up the classpath by adding the junit jar to the path and then the directory containing your tests. You will probably have to add your main classes to this as well, with another pathelement giving their location.
See the ant documentation for more on these path-like structures.

I have a simple game implemented in eclipse. It consists of about 8 classes.
It is for my school assignment.
In the turn in specification, there is written:
"Send me all source codes, documentation and ant build file, which allows the project to be compiled and generate javadoc documentation".
I really do not understand how ant works. I googled some tutorials, but I cannot understand them either. I tried to generate build.xml file in eclipse, but the teacher said that this doesnt work either.
Could someone give me some simple steps or give me link to some really basic tutorial? Thanks for help.
This is the eclipse generated ant (export project as antbuildfile):
And it is kind of weird, because the class BasicPaint I deleted a long time ago.

Ant is used to perform tasks that are useful to build applications. You have tasks like <javac> <jar> etc.. To compile your classes and put them in a jar file.
I don't see why the build.xml generated file wouldn't work.. But you can take it as an example to understand how ant works. You can also adapt that build.xml file to make it work anywhere.
This tutorial looks well explained at first sight: http://www.javaworld.com/article/2076208/java-app-dev/automate-your-build-process-using-java-and-ant.html
I find that ant can be pretty complex easily, it'll take you time to understand it well but it's really doable.
I am trying to run my java program using ant. The compile and jar part work perfectly fine. But when u try to run my created Jar, it shows me
Error: Could not find or load main class com.twu.biblioteca.Application.
Cannot seem to figure out the problem
<target name="clean">
<delete dir="build"/>
</target>
<target name="compile">
<mkdir dir="build/classes"/>
<javac srcdir="." destdir="build/classes"/>
</target>
<target name="jar">
<mkdir dir="build/jar"/>
<jar destfile="build/jar/Application.jar" basedir="build/classes/com/twu/biblioteca/">
<manifest>
<attribute name="Main-Class" value="com.twu.biblioteca.Application"/>
</manifest>
</jar>
</target>
<target name="run">
<java jar="build/jar/Application.jar" fork="true"/>
</target>
The problem is your jar task. From the documentation, basedir corresponds to:
the directory from which to jar the files.
As such, it needs to be
<jar destfile="build/jar/Application.jar" basedir="build/classes">
<!-- ... -->
</jar>
With your configuration, you are making a JAR of only the biblioteca folder, therefore, it doesn't match anymore the package declaration that contains com.twu.biblioteca.
I have a jar target in ant that makes a jar out of two classes that I have. Then, I want to run this jar in another target that depends on the jar target. Would there be an easy way to do this in ant? I have my compile and jar targets pasted below.
<project>
<target name="compile">
<mkdir dir="build/classes"/>
<javac includeantruntime="false" srcdir="." destdir="build/classes"/>
</target>
<target name="jar">
<mkdir dir="build/jar"/>
<jar destfile="build/jar/KnightsTour.jar" basedir="build/classes">
<manifest>
<attribute name="Main-Class" value="PlayTour"/>
</manifest>
</jar>
</target>
</project
To run a Java application, use the java task (see https://ant.apache.org/manual/Tasks/java.html for its documentation). An example from the docs:
<java jar="dist/test.jar" fork="true" failonerror="true" maxmemory="128m">
<arg value="arg1"/>
<arg value="arg2"/>
<classpath>
<pathelement location="dist/test.jar"/>
<pathelement path="${java.class.path}"/>
</classpath>
</java>
I have an ant build file for a java project the project tree looks like this :
DataBaseFidling.
|-->src (contains production code source)
|-->tests (contains tests code source)
|-->bin (contains .class)
|-->reports(contains junit xml reports)
|-->build.xml
Whenever I import this project with eclipse using "Java Project From Existing Ant Build File", eclipse does not reconize the tests folder as a source folder.
What to do to fix this?
Here is the ant build file :
The DatabaseFidling Project.
<property name="src.dir" location="./src/" />
<property name="tests.dir" location="./tests/" />
<property name="bin.dir" location="./bin/" />

You can manually add the test folder as a source folder. Right click the project, Build Path -> Configure Build Path -> Java Build Path. In the Source tab, click Link Source then browse to your folder.
The compile target had to contain one javac task which compiles both the src and test folders.
I have following ant script to generate the jar file
<project name="myProject" basedir="." default="jar">
<property name="src" value="Java Source"/>
<property name="output" value="bin"/>
<target name="compile" depends="create">
<javac destdir="bin">
<src path="${src}"/>
<classpath refid="myProject.classpath"/>
</javac>
</target>
<target name="jar" depends="compile">
<jar destfile="myProject.jar">
<fileset dir="bin"/>
</jar>
</target>
<target name="clean">
<delete dir="${output}"/>
</target>
<target name="create" depends="clean">
<mkdir dir="${output}"/>
</target>
When I run ant script i get following error
Reference myProject.classpath not found.
I am not sure how to solve this error. It requires path of .classpath file ?
I also tried with
refid="classpath"
and it didnt work.
Can anyone help please!
Thanks
You need to define first something like because right now MyProject.classpath is not defined:
<classpath>
<pathelement path="${classpath}"/>
</classpath>
assuming that your classpath has what you need.
If it does not, create another entry under classpath element that has references to jars or whatever you need, or you need to custom specify path:
<path id="MyProject.classpath">
<pathelement location="lib/"/>
<pathelement path="${classpath}/"/>
<pathelement path="${additional.path}"/>
</path>
