Example of a build.xml

<code Xml>
<project name="MyProject" default="dist" basedir=".">
    <description>
        simple example build file
    </description>
  <!-- set global properties for this build -->
  <property name="src" location="src"/>
  <property name="build" location="build"/>
  <property name="dist"  location="dist"/>

  <target name="init">
    <!-- Create the time stamp -->
    <tstamp/>
    <!-- Create the build directory structure used by compile -->
    <mkdir dir="${build}"/>
  </target>

  <target name="compile" depends="init"
        description="compile the source " >
    <!-- Compile the java code from ${src} into ${build} -->
    <javac srcdir="${src}" destdir="${build}"/>
  </target>

  <target name="dist" depends="compile"
        description="generate the distribution" >
    <!-- Create the distribution directory -->
    <mkdir dir="${dist}/lib"/>

    <!-- Put everything in ${build} into the MyProject-${DSTAMP}.jar file -->
    <jar jarfile="${dist}/lib/MyProject-${DSTAMP}.jar" basedir="${build}"/>
  </target>

  <target name="clean"
        description="clean up" >
    <!-- Delete the ${build} and ${dist} directory trees -->
    <delete dir="${build}"/>
    <delete dir="${dist}"/>
  </target>
</project>

Notes

Java task redirect output (to avoid ant’s prefix)

<java class="project.entry" output="dev/tty"/>

Note: only on unix-like systems.
Note: you can type “tty” or “w” for the name of the terminal you are using. (http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-unix-find-tty-name/)

Postpone decisions

<target id="XXX" if="OOO" />
<!-- this target will run if OOO is set -->
<target id="XXX" unless="OOO" />
<!-- this target will not run if OOO is set -->
