script type

utility

description

A simple script that provides a pull-down menu and keyboard shortcuts for calling ant, a java build utility.  By default, ant.vim assumes that the build.xml file is in the current directory.  The user can set the build file in another directory by selecting the "Set build file" option or by using ",s" in command mode. Global options can be set in your .vimrc file.      For example: let g:buildFile = 'foo.xml' let g:antOption = '-debug' let g:logFile = 'foo.log' If you are on a windows box and you cannot see compilation errors in your quickfix window, try setting the shellpipe to "2>" in your _vimrc.

install details

ant.vim	0.21	2001-12-04	6.0	Shad Gregory	ant.vim now builds the target entry on startup if a build.xml exists in the current directory.  The user can now set options seperate from the build, hopefully this will provide greater flexibility (as well as one less step to the build option :-)). If you forget which option is set, "ANT->Set Option->Show Current" will display the current option.
ant.vim	0.2	2001-12-03	6.0	Shad Gregory	ant.vim will now add a 'Target' menu when the user manually sets the location of the build file with ',s' or by selecting the build option.  So, for example, selecting ANT->Target->clean from the menu will execute 'ant clean.'  I'm not all that confident in my regex skills, so I can't guarantee that it will work in all (or even most!) circumstances.   Any help or bug reports will be appreciated.
