| BuildLogger | Interface used by Ant to log the build output. |
| DynamicAttribute | Enables a task to control unknown attributes |
| DynamicAttributeNS | Enables a task to control unknown attributes. |
| DynamicConfigurator | Enables a task to control unknown attributes and elements. |
| DynamicConfiguratorNS | Enables a task to control unknown attributes and elements. |
| DynamicElement | Enables a task to control unknown elements. |
| DynamicElementNS | Enables a task to control unknown elements. |
| Executor | Target executor abstraction. |
| FileScanner | An interface used to describe the actions required of any type of directory scanner. |
| SubBuildListener | Instances of classes that implement this interface can register to be also notified when things happened during a subbuild. |
| TaskContainer | Interface for objects which can contain tasks. |
| TypeAdapter | Used to wrap types. |
| Class Summary | |
|---|---|
| AntClassLoader | Used to load classes within ant with a different classpath from that used to start ant. |
| AntTypeDefinition | This class contains all the information on a particular ant type, the classname, adaptor and the class it should be assignable from. |
| BuildEvent | Class representing an event occurring during a build. |
| BuildException | Signals an error condition during a build |
| ComponentHelper | Component creation and configuration. |
| DefaultLogger | Writes build events to a PrintStream. |
| DemuxInputStream | Passes input requests to the project object for demuxing into individual tasks and threads. |
| DemuxOutputStream | Logs content written by a thread and forwards the buffers onto the project object which will forward the content to the appropriate task. |
| Diagnostics | A little diagnostic helper that output some information that may help in support. |
| DirectoryScanner | Class for scanning a directory for files/directories which match certain criteria. |
| ExitException | Used to report exit status of classes which call System.exit(). |
| ExitStatusException | BuildException + exit status. |
| IntrospectionHelper | Helper class that collects the methods a task or nested element holds to set attributes, create nested elements or hold PCDATA elements. |
| IntrospectionHelper.Creator | creator - allows use of create/store external to IntrospectionHelper. |
| Location | Stores the location of a piece of text within a file (file name, line number and column number). |
| MagicNames | Magic names used within Ant. |
| Main | Command line entry point into Ant. |
| NoBannerLogger | Extends DefaultLogger to strip out empty targets. |
| PathTokenizer | A Path tokenizer takes a path and returns the components that make up that path. |
| Project | Central representation of an Ant project. |
| ProjectComponent | Base class for components of a project, including tasks and data types. |
| ProjectHelper | Configures a Project (complete with Targets and Tasks) based on a XML build file. |
| PropertyHelper | NOT FINAL. |
| RuntimeConfigurable | Wrapper class that holds the attributes of an element, its children, and any text within it. |
| Target | Class to implement a target object with required parameters. |
| Task | Base class for all tasks. |
| TaskAdapter | Uses introspection to "adapt" an arbitrary Bean which doesn't itself extend Task, but still contains an execute method and optionally a setProject method. |
| UnknownElement | Wrapper class that holds all the information necessary to create a task or data type that did not exist when Ant started, or one which has had its definition updated to use a different implementation class. |
| UnsupportedAttributeException | Used to report attempts to set an unsupported attribute |
| UnsupportedElementException | Used to report attempts to set an unsupported element When the attempt to set the element is made, the code does not not know the name of the task/type based on a mapping from the classname to the task/type. |
| XmlLogger | Generates a file in the current directory with an XML description of what happened during a build. |
