Running applications from ANT files

Before starting

Befor an application can be run from an ANT file, the application in question must have been compiled. The Jar file must also have been built.

The {JavaMainClass(<FullClassPath>)} tagged value is used to specify the main class of the application. This class will be used when the application is launched from Objecteering.
