I've never used Ant to build software. But, according the the instructions in the picture
I can build NetBeans using Ant.
My question is how do I proceed? I have NetBeans downloaded and the JDK.
Should I use a command window from Windows OR does Ant have its own Command Window.
If so, how do I open this command window so I can build NetBeans?

i need to execute a ant script inside eclipse luna using java 7.
The problem is that if i try to change the path with jenv or try to set JAVA_HOME inside eclipse the ant script inside eclipse is always executed with java 6.
The OS is macOS Sierra.
I have to use eclipse.ini ?
Thanks
Assuming you are running the Ant script the normal way you can configure this in the configuration for the script.
Open the External Tools Configuration dialog using 'Run > External Tools > External Tools Configuration...'.
Find your script in the 'Ant Build' section and then look at the 'JRE' tab where you can set the JRE/JDK to anything you have told Eclipse about.
Is there a way I can debug my application (using breakpoints in eclipse) while running it from command line (ubuntu)? I'm using Eclipse Kepler version on Ubuntu 12.04LTS.
I know there's something like attach to process in .net, was wondering if eclipse has some such setup.
Thanks,
Is your application written in C or in Java?
If your application is in C and you are using CDT, you can attach to existing project by:
Run your application from terminal.
In Eclipse CDT, go to main menu "Run"->"Debug Configurations...", double-click "C/C++ Attach to Application" and press "Debug" (you should not need to specify executable and/or project).
For Java applications, see this
I want to send my project I made in eclipse to others, so I tried running the project in my workspace. But I don't have a software to run it.(besides eclipse) What software should I use?

You should use Java. Eclipse is just an IDE, so it doesn't run your Java programs. Java does. Export your program as a JAR, and if you have Java installed, you can run the JAR by double-clicking on it, or by running it from the command line:
java -jar file.jar

First time using Apache Ant (I'm excited and overwhelmed at the same time!) for automating a Java app.
I did not go to the ant website and download ant directly. Rather, I'm using the standard plugin that ships with Eclipse. From Eclipse, I can run test build.xml projects perfectly. But when I go to run ant directly off the command-line, Windows doesn't recognize it as a recognized command.
This leads me to believe that I either do not have ant installed, or I have not configured it properly (at all). If it's not installed, then why do these build.xml scripts work when I fire them inside of Eclipse? Does Eclipse ship with its own distrib of ant that isn't accessible from the cmd line?
And if it's just a config issue, what do I need to do in order to get ant to run a buildscript of my own flavor?
I want to start using Apache Ivy and in order to run the demos I first need ant up and running from the command line.
Thanks for any help or insight :-)
Does Eclipse ship with its own distrib of ant that isn't accessible from the cmd line?
Essentially, yes. Eclipse bundles the core Ant runtime plus its own extensions and integration, but it's private to the Eclipse installation.
If you want to run the builds from outside of Eclipse, you need to download and install the full distribution of Ant.
I don't want to build the files manually with command line,
is it possible for eclipse to do the equivalent for tomcat automatically?
eclipse by default does compile your project automatically. Do you mean to have eclipse deploying to tomcat automatically?
If that is what you would like to do, Eclipse WebTools has support for deploying to servlet container. One example of how to do that is http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/library/os-eclipse-tomcat/index.html
If you have a build.xml file in your project root, you can right click on it in eclipse, select Run As -> Ant Build...
From there you can configure how it should run the script just as if you were using ant.

Can eclipse be used to fully replace ant?
