How to include a Java command in ANT to run the project

Question

How to include a Java command in ANT to run the project. I have searched the net and all examples creates a jar and then run it. I don'nt want to use a jar. I tried using below code, it is giving error that Java tag is not complete. My project is using TestNG so i need to give this command to run it - java -cp "/home/admin/A/":"/home/admin/A/lib/*" org.testng.TestNG testng.xml

My code is as below:

 <target name="run" depends="jar,compile,init">
<!-- <java jar="${jar.dir}/${ant.project.name}-${ant.version}.jar" -->

 <java -cp "/home/admin/A/I/S/out/production/S/":"/home/admin/A/I/State/lib/*" org.testng.TestNG testng.xml >
</java>

Use something like this:

<target name='run' depends="jar,compile,init"> <java classname="org.testng.TestNG" dir="." fork="true" failonerror="true" maxmemory="128m" > <classpath> <pathelement location='/home/admin/A/I/S/out/production/S/' /> <pathelement location='/home/admin/A/I/State/lib/*' /> </classpath> <arg value="testng.xml" /> </java> </target>

The second path element you can expand to individual JAR files in the lib folder or use a path and refer to it in the class path.

The Java task page in the Ant Manual will help you create a correct Java tag. (Note that all content in an Ant build.xml file must be valid XML.)

However, you should probably look at use the testng Ant task in your build file, rather than executing via Java directly.
