ANT (Another Neat Tool), from the Jakarta project, receives full build support for the first time in this release of hsqldb. Thanks go out to the Apache/Jakarta and ANT teams for giving the world such a wonderful tool. Additional links to ANT info can be found on the Links Page.
In /src there is an Ant build.xml that builds the hsqldb.jar. (Ant must be
already installed). To use it, change to /src then type:
ant
This displays the command line options which include
ant jar to make the hsqldb.jar
ant clean to clean up the /classes
directory that is created type:
ant cleanall to remove the old
jar as well
ant switchtojdk11 to process
and change the code for jdk1.1.x
ant switchtojdk12 to process
and change the code for jdk1.2.x and 1.3.x
Thanks to Fred Toussi for the final version of this instruction. A more sophisticated build process, using ANT is under development for v.1.7.
