> I want to integrate some installables like junit, emma and javancss tools. I have no much idea on them.These are testing tools which will generate some reports. My question is if I want to integrate our current build with external tools ,how to proceed with?
For JUnit there is an integration built in: <junit> for running and <junitreport> for generating browsable reports. They are described in the manual Tasks::OptionalTasks.
Java tools mostly provide Ant tasks or they describe how to integrate with Ant. Therefore I would have a look into JavaNCSS and Emma homepage.
If they provide Ant tasks you usually put them into Ant-Home\lib and write a xmlns info on the project tag: <project name=... xmlns:lib="antlib:path.as.described"><lib:taskname.../>
If they dont provide tasks, java written programs can be started via <java> (CoreTask).
