Start a container that is not already running
Explanation
First you need to create a Container instance. This can be done using the container factory or directly by instating a container implementation class.
Once you have this container instance, starting the container is as simple as calling the start() method. Before doing this though you'll need to ensure you have defined the container's homeDir (if you're using a container in standalone mode - It's not required for containers in embedded mode). You'll also need to ensure you've also created and assigned a container installation.
Of course it you wish to statically deploy archives, you'll need to add deployables to the container.
It is important to note that the Container.start() method will wait until the container is fully started before returning.
Example using the Java API

Example using the Ant API
Before being able to use the Cargo Ant tasks you need to register them against Ant. This is done by using the Ant <taskdef> element. See the Ant support page. The action to start the container is specified using the action="start" attribute as shown below.
