Apache Ant version 1.6.2 is included with the IDE Server. This version of Ant has been modified to work on OpenVMS.
The logical IDE$ANT_HOME points to the root directory of the Ant files for OpenVMS. This directory contains the command procedure IDE_ANT.COM. If you define a symbol that points to this command procedure, you can issue Ant commands to DCL.
For example:
$! First, set up Java
$!
$ @SYS$MANAGER:JAVA$142_SETUP FAST
$!
$! Now define our symbol
$!
$ Ant :== "@IDE@ANT_HOME:IDE_ANT.COM"
$!
$! Now test...
$ ant "-version"
