Run Apache ant tasks in Clojure. Very easy to use, and great way to leverage Apache ant's functionality where other libraries make things verbose and a PITA, i.e. zip and unzip archives.

Multiple ant tasks can be ran at once, allowing properties to be passed from one task to the next (i.e. first task might set a property, and the following task could use the property in it's execution).

To install, add the following to your project :dependencies:

[rtcritical/clj-ant-tasks "1.0.1"]

clj-ant-tasks tested against clojure 1.7, 1.8, 1.9, and 1.10.

user=> (require '[rtcritical.clj-ant-tasks :refer :all])

Two functions available:

1. run-ant-task
2. run-ant-tasks

They are very similar. Both use clojure.data.xml's sexp-to-element, so the syntax is hiccup-like.

Nested elements handled appropriately (all by clojure.data.xml).

Some examples below. More examples can be found in the project's test file.

Use #'run-ant-task to run a single ant task.

Touch a file

user=> (run-ant-task :touch {:file "/tmp/test.txt"})

Zip a directory

user=> (run-ant-task :zip {:destfile "/tmp/archive.zip" :basedir "/tmp/archive"})

Zip a directory, where the base directory is included in the archive

user=> (run-ant-task :zip {:destfile "/tmp/archive.zip" :basedir "/tmp" :includes "archive/**"})

Use #'run-ant-tasks to run multiple tasks in sequence.

Set a property, then delete using the property

user=> (run-ant-tasks [:property {:name "file.to.delete" :value "/tmp/test.txt"}] [:delete {:file "${file.to.delete}"}])

To run the tests against Clojure 1.7, 1.8, 1.9, and 1.10:

	$ lein test-all
