Antlets are designed to be (optionally) downloaded and imported by the importantlet task sample code
Sample
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<project default="dist" basedir="." name="hello-world">
<description>Helloworld template project.</description>
{{{ <typedef resource="org/apache/ant/antlet/antlib.xml" /> <importantlet name="init" href="http://ant.apache.org/antlets" /> <target name="dist" > <echo message="Build dir is defined in init as ${build.dir}"/> </target> </project>
- }}}
This will download and automatically import http://ant.apache.org/antlets/init/xbuild.xml Which looks like
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<project basedir="." name="init.antlet">
<description>Standard Init.</description>
{{{ <property name="build.dir" value="${basedir}/build}" /> <mkdir dir="${build.dir}"/>
</project>
- }}}
