Transforming Ant Build Files
Oxygen XML Developer includes a few built-in transformation scenarios that allow you to
transform Ant build files. They are listed in the Ant section in the
Configure Transformation Scenario(s) dialog box:
- Ant - This transformation scenario runs as an external process that executes the Ant build script with the built-in Ant distribution (Apache Ant version 1.9.8) that is included with Oxygen XML Developer, or optionally with a custom Ant distribution configured in the scenario.
- Ant (with Saxon-HE XSLT support) - This transformation scenario allows Ant XSLT tasks to be performed using Saxon 9 Home Edition libraries that come bundled with Oxygen XML Developer and all defined XML catalogs are also taken into account during the transformation.
Tip: Certain Ant tasks require additional JAR libraries (for example, Ant
mail tasks). The additional libraries can be added by editing the Ant transformation
scenario, and in the Output tab, click the Libraries
button in the bottom right corner. This opens a dialog box where you can add JAR
libraries. For a list of library dependencies, see https://ant.apache.org/manual/install.html#librarydependencies.
