Ant

"Apache Ant is a Java-based build tool. In theory, it is kind of like Make, but without Make's wrinkles."

To use Floggy with Ant you need to declare a taskdef like the snippet below.

[...]
  <!-- 
      IMPORTANT: You must change the value of this property pointing it to the directory
      where you have installed Floggy.
        
      Some examples:
      Linux: /opt/floggy
      Windows: c:\floggy
  -->
  <property name="floggy.path" value="c:\floggy"/>
    
  <path id="floggy.classpath">
    <fileset dir="${floggy.path}\lib" includes="*.jar"/>
  </path>
    
  <taskdef name="floggy-persistence-weaver" classname="net.sourceforge.floggy.persistence.WeaverTask" 
    classpathref="floggy.classpath"/>
[...]

Also you need to create a target to execute Floggy.

[...]
  <target name="floggy">
        <floggy-persistence-weaver bootclasspathref="..." classpathref="..." input="..." output="..." generateSource="..."/>
  </target>
[...]

This target must run just after the compilation has done and before the preverification.

The attributes declared in the floggy-persistence-weaver tag has the following meaning.

1. bootclasspathref (required): a reference to a path that contains the packages cldcapi and midpapi, any version. This packages could be find at the Sun Java Wireless Toolkit .
2. classpathref (required): a reference to a path that contains a version of the package floggy-persistence-framework. This package could be find at here
3. input (required): the directory or jar file that contains the classes that will be processed by the weaver.
4. output (required): the directory or jar file when the weaved classes will be placed.
5. generateSource (optional): a boolean indicating the weaver to generate or not the source of methods weaved in the bytecode.

A build sample.

We developed a build file to the demo application. You can customize this file to your way of development. The file is available here . The build file use tasks from the Antenna project to generate the JAD file and to preverify the classes.
