        Third Party Integration
    </title>
    <para>
OpenJPA provides a number of mechanisms for integrating with third-party tools.
The following chapter will illustrate these integration features.

        <para>
Ant is a very popular tool for building Java projects. It is similar to the
<literal>make</literal> command, but is Java-centric and has more modern
features. Ant is open source, and can be downloaded from Apache's Ant web page
at <ulink url="http://jakarta.apache.org/ant/"> http://jakarta.apache.org/ant/
</ulink>. Ant has become the de-facto standard build tool for Java, and many
commercial integrated development environments provide some support for using
ant build files. The remainder of this section assumes familiarity with writing
Ant <filename>build.xml</filename> files.
        </para>
        <para>
OpenJPA provides pre-built Ant task definitions for all bundled tools:

The source code for all the ant tasks is provided with the distribution under
the <filename>src</filename> directory. This allows you to customize various
aspects of the ant tasks in order to better integrate into your development
environment.

All OpenJPA tasks accept a nested <literal>config</literal> element, which
defines the configuration environment in which the specified task will run. The
attributes for the <literal>config</literal> tag are defined by the
<ulink url="../javadoc/org/apache/openjpa/jdbc/conf/JDBCConfiguration.html">
<classname>JDBCConfiguration</classname></ulink> bean methods. Note that
excluding the <literal>config</literal> element will cause the Ant task to use
the default system configuration mechanism, such as the configuration defined in
the <filename>org.apache.openjpa.xml</filename> file.
            </para>
            <para>
Following is an example of how to use the nested <literal>config</literal> tag
in a <filename>build.xml</filename> file:

            <para>
It is also possible to specify a <literal>properties</literal> or <literal>
propertiesFile</literal> attribute on the <literal>config</literal> tag, which
will be used to locate a properties resource or file. The resource will be
loaded relative to the current CLASSPATH.

            </example>
            <para>
Tasks also accept a nested <literal>classpath</literal> element, which you can
use in place of the default classpath. The <literal>classpath</literal> argument
behaves the same as it does for Ant's standard <literal>javac</literal> element.
It is sometimes the case that projects are compiled to a separate directory than
the source tree. If the target path for compiled classes is not included in the
project's classpath, then a <literal>classpath</literal> element that includes
the target class directory needs to be included so the enhancer and mapping tool
can locate the relevant classes.
            </para>

Following is an example of using a <literal>classpath</literal> tag:

Finally, tasks that invoke code-generation tools like the application identity
tool and reverse mapping tool accept a nested <literal>codeformat</literal>
element. See the code formatting documentation in
<xref linkend="ref_guide_conf_devtools_format"/> for a list of code
formatting attributes.

The mapping tool task allows you to directly invoke the mapping tool from within
the Ant build process. It is useful for making sure that the database schema and
object-relational mapping data is always synchronized with your persistent class
