Moxie+Ant is a distribution of Ant with Moxie.
This bundle provides a command-line executable (moxie
) for all platforms supported by Ant. Using the moxie
command instead of the ant
command gives you some additional features.
Moxie+Ant automatically injects several phase targets at runtime which you may use to build your projects. These are similar to Maven's phases, but not nearly as sophisticated. They are suitable for building simple projects.
Moxie+Ant has very primitive project creation support. This is a work-in-progress.
moxie -new -<archetype> <groupId>:<artifactId>:<version> -dir:<dirname> -git<:originId> -eclipse<:+var> -intellij
Passing -git will initialize a git repository.
Specifying an originId will automatically setup a an origin remote. If you are using Gitblit and your account has create-on-push permission this is sufficient to create a local project and push it to Gitblit.
-eclipse generates .project and .classpath files
-eclipse:+var generates .project and .classpath files that are relative to an Eclipse variable MX_ROOT which must be defined in your Eclipse IDE. This is useful to version-control the .classpath file since it does not have direct path links to your personal Moxie root folder.
-eclipse:+ext generates .project and .classpath files that are relative to the ext folder of your project.
-intellij generates .iml files
