For example, ant_home: C: \ apache-ant-1.8.1
Path: % ant_home % \ bin (to facilitate operations in the DOS environment)The experiment always fails and cannot be changed to address C:/Apache-ant-1.8.1/bin without using variables... Yes ..]

3. Verify ant

To verify whether ant is successfully installed, perform the following operations:

Select Start> RUN> cmd, and enter the following command: ant

If the following content appears, the installation is successful:

Buildfile: Build. XML does not exist!

1 <? XML version = "1.0" encoding = "GBK" ?>
2 < Project Name = "Test script" Default = "Copyfile" Basedir = "."   >
3 < Target Name = "Copyfile" >
4 < Copy File = "D:/a.txt" Todir = "E:/Temp" Overwrite = "True"   />
5 </ Target >
6 </ Project >

(2) Create the.txt file under the ddisk root directory.
(3) Go to dos.
