Build Ant Target

================

A [Sublime Text 2](http://www.sublimetext.com/2) and [3](http://www.sublimetext.com/3) plugin that allows you to...

**build _any_ target from _any_ valid Ant build file, regardless of its location in your project!**

---

Overview

--------

A super simple plugin that extends Sublime Text's existing Ant build support,

by adding more flexibility, allowing you to build from any open build file

in your project, not just a `build.xml` in the root of your project.

It also allows you to select your desired target to build, for projects that have

more than one target defined.

Requirements

------------

- Make sure you have Ant installed on your machine.

	- https://ant.apache.org/manual/install.html

	- or via [Homebrew](http://brew.sh)

		- `brew update`

		- `brew install ant`

- Make sure that your Ant installation is linked to `/usr/local/ant` \(*\).

	- `sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/ant /usr/local/ant`

		- NOTE: This assumes your existing Ant install is located at `/usr/local/bin/ant`.

		  You can figure out where you Ant is installed by running, `which ant`.

- That‘s it!

Installation

------------

It is available through

[Sublime Package Contol](http://wbond.net/sublime_packages/package_control) and

this is the recommended way of installation (brings configuration instructions,

automatic updates with changelogs…).

### Alternative installation methods

#### From github

You can install from github if you want, although Package Control automates

just that. Go to your `Packages` subdirectory under Sublime Text's data directory:

##### Sublime Text 2

* Windows: `%APPDATA%\Sublime Text 2`

* OS X: `~/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 2`

* Linux: `~/.config/sublime-text-2`

* Portable Installation: `Sublime Text 2/Data`

##### Sublime Text 3

* Windows: `%APPDATA%\Sublime Text 3`

* OS X: `~/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3`

* Linux: `~/.config/sublime-text-3`

* Portable Installation: `Sublime Text 3/Data`

#### Manually

[Download](https://github.com/ryanhefner/BuildAntTarget/archive/master.zip)

the plugin as a zip. Copy the *BuildAntTarget* directory to its location

(see prior section).

Usage

-----

## Build Target

There are two ways in which you can initiate the building of an Ant target, via

the Keyboard Shortcut or Context Menu.

**NOTE:** Both of these methods require that you initiate the command from an

opened, and valid, Ant build file.

### Keyboard Shortcut

- Use the keyboard shortcut, `command+alt+b`, on any opened Ant build file

- Select target via the popup menu

- Watch your build happen via the Build Results panel

### Context Menu

- Right-click on the opened build file

- Navigate to `Build Ant Target > Build Target`

- Select target via the popup menu

- Watch your build happen via the Build Results panel
