| <cc > task issue in ANT | <cc > task issue in ANT 2007-07-02 - By query
My project is mainly based on java. For that I am pretty comfortable using ANT
tool.
I am using <cl>,<mc>,<rc> and <csc> only in a few build files. Is there a way
to integrate NANT with ANT?
I am new to both NANT and apache-ant-dotnet. How can I use apache-ant-dotnet
for using <cl>,<mc>,<rc> and <csc> tasks?

Project's build.xml file, and the targets use "Tasks". There are some
differences between the two -- especially in the individual tasks. Some of
this is preferences between the two groups of authors, some of this is fixing
some of the issues users of Ant have found with Ant itself, and some of this
has to do with the way the two different platforms work. Nant, for example
uses a lot more functions than Ant. In Ant, you use <available>. In Nant, you
use the <if> task and use various Nant functions to see if a property is
defined or if a file exists. And, unlike the <available> task, you can do
other things besides setting a single property.

is still officially on version 0.85, so they haven't bothered to flesh out the
documentation just yet. Microsoft and many of the other companies in the
Microsoft environment are also not a big supporters of Open Source software.
Unlike the Unix world where many of the larger companies actually hire people
to work on Open Source projects and many professionals contribute to Open
Source software because they use it in their daily work, the Microsoft world
is still getting use to the idea that they are becoming dependent upon Open
Source projects like Nant.
