Ant in Workstation
December 18th, 2008
Apache Ant is a Java-based build tool which Tomcat uses to deploy web applications. More info here: http://ant.apache.org. The steps I used to install Ant in the MacBook are:
Download ANT from http://ant.apache.org/bindownload.cgi .
Extract the Ant files into the folder you want to install it.
Add the Ant /bin path to you ~/.profile file. In my case I added this line:
export PATH=/Users/italoosorio/Tomcat/Ant-home/bin:$PATH
I am installing everything related to Tomcat development in my home/Tomcat folder.
