This is documented. Also clarified failonerror usage, added another example git-svn-id: https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/ant/core/trunk@270034 13f79535-47bb-0310-9956-ffa450edef68

<h2><a name="java">Java</a></h2>

<h3>Description</h3>
|
|
<p>Executes a Java class within the running (Ant) VM or forks another VM if
|
|
specified.</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
If odd things go wrong when you run this task, set fork="true" to use a new
|
|
JVM.

<h3>Parameters specified as nested elements</h3>
|
|
<h4>arg and jvmarg</h4>
|
|
<p>Use nested <code><arg></code> and <code><jvmarg></code>
|
|
elements to specify arguments for the or the forked VM. See <a
|
|
href="../using.html#arg">Command line arguments</a>.</p>
|
|
<h4>sysproperty</h4>
|
|
<p>Use nested <code><sysproperty></code>
|
|
elements to specify system properties required by the class.
|
|
These properties will be made available to the VM during the execution
|
|
of the class (either ANT's VM or the forked VM). The attributes
|
|
for this element are the same as for <a href="exec.html#env">environment
|
|
variables</a>.</p>
|
|
<h4>classpath</h4>
|
|
<p><code>Java</code>'s <i>classpath</i> attribute is a <a
|
|
href="../using.html#path">PATH like structure</a> and can also be set via a nested
|
|
<i>classpath</i> element.</p>
|
|
<h3>Examples</h3>
|
|
<pre>
|
|
<java classname="test.Main" >
|
|
<arg value="-h"/>
|
|
<classpath>
|
|
<pathelement location="dist/test.jar"/>
|
|
<pathelement path="${java.class.path}"/>
|
|
</classpath>
|
|
</java>
|
|
</pre>
|
|
Run a class in this JVM with a new jar on the classpath
|
|
|
|
<pre> <java jar="dist/test.jar"
|
|
fork="true"
|
|
failonerror="true"
|
|
maxmemory="128m"
|
|
>
|
|
<arg value="-h"/>
|
|
<classpath>
|
|
<pathelement location="dist/test.jar"/>
|
|
<pathelement path="${java.class.path}"/>
|
|
</classpath>
|
|
</java>
|
|
</pre>
|
|
Run the jar using the manifest supplied entry point, forking (as required),
|
|
and with a maximum memory of 128MB. Any non zero return code breaks the build.
|
|
|
|
<pre> <java classname="test.Main"/></pre>
|
|
<pre> <java classname="test.Main"
|
|
fork="yes" >
|
|
<sysproperty key="DEBUG" value="true"/>
|
|
<arg value="-h"/>
|
|
<jvmarg value="-Xrunhprof:cpu=samples,file=log.txt,depth=3"/>
|
|
</java>
|
|
</pre>
|
|
<strong>Note</strong>: you can not specify the (highly deprecated) MSJVM, "jview.exe" as the
|
|
JVM, as it takes different parameters for other JVMs,
|
|
That JVM can be started from <exec> if required.
