| <h2><a name="Apache_Rat_Ant_Task_Library"></a>Apache Rat Ant Task Library</h2> |
| <p>The Ant Task Library provides a single Ant task and a few supporting Ant types to run Rat, the <a href="../index.html">Release Audit Tool</a>, from inside <a class="externalLink" href="https://ant.apache.org/">Apache Ant</a>.</p> |
| <p>Using Ant's resource abstraction the task can be used to check files on disk as well as tarballs or even URLs directly.</p></section><section> |
| <h2><a name="Requirements"></a>Requirements</h2> |
| <p>The Rat Ant Task Library requires Apache Ant 1.7.1 or higher (it works well with 1.8.x), Apache Rat core and transitively all dependencies of Apache Rat core.</p> |
| <p>In order to use the tasks Java 5 is required as of Rat 0.9 - Rat 0.8 and earlier require Java 1.4.</p></section><section> |
| <h2><a name="Installation"></a>Installation</h2> |
| <p>There are several ways to use the Antlib:</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>The traditional way: |
| <div> |
| <pre><taskdef |
| resource="org/apache/rat/anttasks/antlib.xml"> |
| <classpath> |
| <pathelement location="YOUR-PATH-TO/apache-rat-0.17-SNAPSHOT.jar"/> |
| </classpath> |
| </taskdef></pre></div> |
| <p>With this you can use the report task like plain Ant tasks, they'll live in the default namespace. I.e. if you can run <code>exec</code> without any namespace prefix, you can do so for <code>report</code> as well.</p></li> |
| <li>Similar, but assigning a namespace URI |
| <div> |
| <pre><taskdef |
| uri="antlib:org.apache.rat.anttasks" |
| resource="org/apache/rat/anttasks/antlib.xml"> |
| <classpath> |
| <pathelement location="YOUR-PATH-TO/apache-rat-0.17-SNAPSHOT.jar"/> |
| </classpath> |
| </taskdef></pre></div> |
| <p>This puts your task into a separate namespace than Ant's namespace. You would use the tasks like</p> |
| <div> |
| <pre><project |
| xmlns:rat="antlib:org.apache.rat.anttasks" |
| xmlns="antlib:org.apache.tools.ant"> |
| ... |
| <rat:report> |
| <fileset dir="src"/> |
| </rat:report></pre></div> |
| <p>or a variation thereof.</p></li> |
| <li>Using Ant's autodiscovery. Place <code>apache-rat-tasks.jar</code> and all dependencies into a directory and use <code>ant -lib DIR-CONTAINING-THE-JAR</code> or copy it into <code>ANT_HOME/lib</code> - and then in your build file, simply declare the namespace on the <code>project</code> tag: |
| <div> |
| <pre><project |
| xmlns:rat="antlib:org.apache.rat.anttasks" |
| xmlns="antlib:org.apache.tools.ant"></pre></div> |
| <p>and all tasks of this library will automatically be available in the <code>rat</code> namespace without any <code>taskdef</code>.</p></li></ul></section> |
