To get Clover integrated into your build as quickly as possible, follow these simple steps.

1. Download Clover-for-Ant, unzip it, take the lib/clover.jar and save it in your home directory.
   
   

2. Add the following lines to your build.xml file:

   <taskdef resource="cloverlib.xml" classpath="${user.home}/clover.jar"/>
   <clover-env/>
   

   Note that this will not work within an Ant target. It must be at the top level of the build file.
   
   

3. Add the clover.jar to your test classpath:

   <junit fork="true" forkmode="once">
     <classpath>
       <pathelement location="${user.home}/clover.jar"/>
     </classpath>
   </junit>
   

4. If you have a target already called "test" you can simply run

   ant clover.all
   

   
   Otherwise, run the following:

   ant with.clover your.test.target clover.report
   

   Alternatively, define a property called "test.target" whose value is the name of your test target.
   
   

5. Complete! That concludes the Ant two-line integration. You should now be set up to run Clover on your Ant builds and start taking advantage of Clover's advanced code coverage analysis.

Appendix

By calling <clover-env/>, the following targets becomes available to you:

${clover.dest}

${clover.dest}

${project.title}

${clover.project.historydir}

${clover.project.historydir}

For more instructions about using targets, see the Clover Target Reference. Any ${} properties may be defined on the command line, for example: -Dclover.project.historydir=/home/clover/historydir
