Description

This plugin adds Apache Ant support to Jenkins.This functionality used to be a part of the core, but as of Jenkins 1.431, it was split off into separate plugins.

Installation and usage

Installation

For this plugin to be used, an Ant installation must be specified in the global Jenkins configuration. It can be installed automatically:

Or manually:

Usage

• Ant Version: Ant Installation to use. See previous section.
• Targets: Ant targets to invoke. If left blank, default target will be invoked.
• Build File: Build file to use. If left blank, plugin will look for build.xml in the root directory.
• Properties: Additional parameters (typical properties file format) to pass to the build. They are passed like -D(name)=(value)
• Java Options: Custom ANT_OPS.

An example of using the Ant task inside Pipeline DSL. This code snippet must be put inside a step block when using the declarative syntax.

withAnt(installation: 'myinstall') {
    dir("scoring") {
    if (isUnix()) {
      sh "ant mytarget"

    } else {
      bat "ant mytarget"
    }
}
