| <p>The Ant installation directory must contain a <code dir="ltr">lib/</code> subdirectory which contains the <code dir="ltr">ant.jar</code> binary. For example, for the standard Ant 1.5.4 release, the Ant installation directory is <code dir="ltr">ant/lib/apache-ant-1.5.4</code>. If you enter a directory that does not match this structure, the IDE gives you an error.</p> |
| <p>You can also specify the following options:</p> |

| </td> |
| <td align="left" headers="r3c1-t28 r1c2-t28">If selected, saves all unsaved files in the IDE before running Ant. |
| <p>It is recommended to leave this property selected because modifications to files in the IDE are not recognized by Ant unless they are first saved to disk.</p> |

| <p>If not selected, the IDE fronts the Output window tab only when the Ant output requires user input or contains a hyperlink. Output that contains hyperlinks usually denotes an error or warning. This option is deselected by default.</p> |

| <p>Click <b>Manage Properties</b> to edit the properties in the property editor. This property is similar to the Ant command-line option, <code dir="ltr">-Dkey=value</code>. The following default properties are available:</p> |
| <p><code dir="ltr">${build.compiler.emacs}</code>. If you are compiling using Jikes (build.compiler=jikes), setting this property to true enables Emacs-compatible error messages. It is recommended that you leave this property set to true even if you are not using Jikes, since the IDE prefers Emacs-compatible error messages.</p> |
