14. Compiling Scala with Ant

You can use Apache Ant to compile your Scala code. In this text I will show you how I have done it. It is probably not the only way to do it, but it is at least one way.

Here is the full Ant script. It consists of 4 targets:

1. prepare
2. build
3. run
4. buid-run

It should be pretty self evident what these targets do. I am not going to explain the script in detail. You need to know Apache Ant reasonably to understand it, but then I also think the script will explain itself pretty much.
