Apache Ant is an XML-based build tool to automate different tasks like compile, assemble, test source code, building deployment packages and run Java applications. This Hello World example shows how to invoke and run a simple Ant script programmatically using java code. If you run Ant as a background process (like ant &). The location of a '.java' file or a file containing shebang with Java source code. Set this attribute to run Java single file source programs, a feature introduced in Java 11. Fork must be set to true if this option is selected.
