[xep-support] Ant task

[Gooch, Phil]

Haven't used Ant with XEP for a little while, but there should be an
XEPTask.jar file in XEP's lib folder.

You need to create a build.xml script to use with ant, e.g. this script
uses ant to batch process a bunch of .fo files to PDF. You could write a
similar script to output .xep XML files and chain the tasks, for example
to run some Schematron tests on the .xep output.

<project name=" xep_pdf_batch " default="init" basedir=".">

<property name="xep_dir" value="C:\XEP" />
<property name="src_dir" value="C:\Temp\fo" />
<property name="xep_tests_pdf_dir" value="${src_dir}\xep_output\pdf" />
	
<path id="xep_classpath">
	<fileset dir="${xep_dir}\lib">
		<include name="xep*.jar"/>
		<include name="xt.jar"/>
		<include name="saxon.jar"/>
	</fileset>
	<pathelement path="${xep_dir}\lib\XEPTask.jar"/> 
</path>

<taskdef name="xep" classname="com.renderx.xepx.ant.XEPTask"
classpath="${xep_dir}\lib\XEPTask.jar" />

<target name="init" >
		<mkdir dir="${xep_tests_pdf_dir}" />
</target>

<target name="xep_pdf_batch" depends="init">
		<xep destDir="${xep_tests_pdf_dir}" format="PDF">
			<classpath refid="xep_classpath"/>     
			<sysproperty key="com.renderx.xep.CONFIG"
value="${xep_dir}/xep.xml"/> 
			<fileset dir="${src_dir}">
				<include name="*.fo" />
			</fileset>
		</xep>
</target> 

</project>

As an Ant task

    Ant is a java based building tool. XEP distribution includes a Task
for Ant.




I can't find an ant XML build script in the distribution?
Where is it please - is it a separate file?


TIA
