6. Ant Task Reference

Clover provides a set of Ant tasks to make project integration easy. To make these tasks available in your project build file, you need to:

load the 'cloverlib.xml' antlib by adding the following line to your build file:
```
<taskdef resource="cloverlib.xml" classpath="/path/to/clover.jar"/>
```

Make sure you change the above "/path/to/clover.jar" to point directly to your clover.jar.

For further options, see also Ant Installation Options.

<clover-setup>	Installs Clover as the Ant `build.compiler`. This means that Clover will be invoked whenever the Ant `<javac>` is used, resulting in instrumented compilation.
<clover-report>	Produces coverage reports in different formats.
<clover-html-report>	Generates a HTML report with default settings.
<clover-pdf-report>	Generates a PDF report with default settings.
<clover-historypoint>	Records a coverage history point for use in historical coverage reports.
<clover-merge>	Merges several Clover databases into one, to allow for combined reports to be generated.
<clover-check>	Tests project/package code coverage against criteria, optionally failing the build if the criteria are not met.
<clover-log>	Reports coverage results to the console at various levels.
<clover-instr>	Allows manual instrumentation of source files, for cases where the normal <`clover-setup`> integration approach can't be used.
<clover-clean>	Deletes the coverage database and/or associated coverage records.
<clover-env>	This task should be used for troubleshooting and debugging Clover installation problems only. It outputs Clover version and classpath information.
