ant: Print information on possible targets for this project.
$ ant -p
try on your machine
The ant -p
command is used to print the available targets in an Ant build file.
ant
is a popular build tool for Java projects that helps automate the build process. It uses an XML file (usually named build.xml) to define various tasks and targets.
When you run ant -p
, it reads the build file and displays a list of all the targets and their descriptions that are defined in the file. Targets are specific tasks or actions that can be executed individually.
By printing the available targets, you can get an overview of what tasks you can execute. This helps in understanding the functionality provided by the Ant build file.
