Chapter 4. Apache Ant

JBoss Tattletale integrates with Apache Ant such that you can generate the reports directly from your build environment.

First, you need to add tattletale.jar, tattletale-ant.jar and javassist.jar to the Apache Ant classpath.

Second, you need to add the following to your project definition tag:

xmlns:tattletale="antlib:org.jboss.tattletale.ant"

That is it.

Alternative, you can do a taskdef for each task

<taskdef name="report"
         classname="org.jboss.tattletale.ant.ReportTask"
         classpathref="tattletale.lib.path.id"/>

See the Apache Ant documentation for additional instructions on installation.
