To configure an Ant task: - Navigate to the task configuration for the job (this will be the default job if creating a new plan).
- Click the name of the desired Ant task, or click Add Task and then Ant if creating a new task.
Complete the following settings: | Ant configuration |
|---|
| Task Description | A description of the task, which is displayed in Bamboo. | | Executable | The Ant executable that is available to perform the task. The executable that you select will become one of the task's (and so, the job's) requirements.
You can add other executables, if required. | | Build File | The name of your existing build file (e.g. build.xml).
You can include variables (see Using Global or Build-specific Variables). | | Target | The Ant target that you want this Bamboo task to execute (e.g. test).
You can use '-D' to define one or more JVM parameters (e.g.: -D java.awt.headless=true).
Multiple Ant targets can be specified with a space-delimited list.
You can also include variables (see Using Global or Build-specific Variables). | | Build JDK | The JDKs that are available to perform the task. The JDK that you select will become one of the task's (and so, the job's) requirements.
You can add other JDKs, if required. |
- If required, specify environment variables and working directory settings:
 - If applicable, select The build will produce test results and specify the directory, relative to the root directory, where test results will be created. You can use Ant-style patterns such as
**/test-reports/*.xml. Bamboo requires test results to be in JUnit XML format.
 For jobs that use CVS, the root directory is <bamboo-home>/xml-data/build-dir/JOB_KEY/<cvs-module>. - Click Save.
