Demo

Overview

This document refers to the demo that ships with XHarness. When you download XHarness, you can find the demo in the "demo" subdirectory.

The XHarness task definitions

In order to use any of the XHarness tasks and types in your ant build file, you have to declare their names and the classes that implement them. For this, the xharness.jar ships with two properties files, that do this for you. To load the properties files ad the following to your build.xml:

<project name="foo" default="build">
    <path id="xharness.lib">
        <fileset>
          <include name="path/to/xharness*.jar"/>
        </fileset>
        <pathelement path="${java.class.path}"/>
    </path>

    <taskdef resource="xharnesstasks.properties" classpathref="xharness.lib" loaderref="xharness.loader"/>
    <typedef resource="xharnesstypes.properties" classpathref="xharness.lib" loaderref="xharness.loader"/>

     <!-- ... -->

</project>

Alteratively, you can copy the xharness.jar into the lib directory of your ant installation and then include the task definitions like this:

<project name="foo" default="build">
    <taskdef resource="xharnesstasks.properties"/>
    <typedef resource="xharnesstypes.properties"/>

    <!-- ... -->

</project>

Or you include the file etc/xharness.xml as an XML entity:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE project [
  <!ENTITY xharness SYSTEM "file:/path/to/etc/xharness.xml">
]>

<project name="foo" default="build">

    &xharness;

    <!-- ... -->

</project>
