ant Syntax Example

Here is an example in ant syntax, suitable for a build.xml:

<taskdef name="jlmdeploy"
     classpath="${jviews.framework}/lib/jlm-tools.jar"
     classname="ilog.tools.ant.JlmDeploy" />
<jlmdeploy products="JViews-Diagrammer 6.0"
     application="MaxiMap"
     input="myapp.jar"
     output="myapp.deployed.jar">
  <classpath>
     <pathelement location="${jviews.framework}/lib/jlm-tools.jar" />
     <pathelement location="${jlmdir}/" />
  </classpath>
</jlmdeploy>

Note

The classpath in the taskdef is needed so that this ant task can be found. The classpath in the jlmdeploy element is needed so that jlmdeploy can find the keys.jlm file.
