<!-- This is an Ant project file. Ant is a build tool like make or gnumake which is not
     dependent on the underlying OS shell. For more information on Ant, please see
     http://ant.apache.org/ -->

<!-- A "project" describes a set of targets that may be requested
     when Ant is executed.  The "default" attribute defines the
     target which is executed if no specific target is requested,
     and the "basedir" attribute defines the current working directory
     from which Ant executes the requested task.  This is normally
     set to the current working directory.
-->


<project name="HotSpot Serviceability Agent" default="all" basedir=".">

  <!-- Property Definitions -->

  <property name="app.name" value="sa"/>
  <property name="dist.jar" value="${app.name}.jar"/>
  <property name="classes"  value="../build/classes"/>

<!-- The "prepare" target is used to construct the deployment home
     directory structure (if necessary), and to copy in static files
     as required.  In the example below, Ant is instructed to create
     the deployment directory, copy the contents of the "web/" source
     hierarchy, and set up the WEB-INF subdirectory appropriately.
-->

  <target name="prepare">
    <mkdir dir="${classes}"/>
  </target>


<!-- The "clean" target removes the deployment home directory structure,
     so that the next time the "compile" target is requested, it will need
     to compile everything from scratch.
-->

  <target name="clean">
     <delete dir="${classes}"/>
  </target>


<!-- The "compile" target is used to compile (or recompile) the Java classes
     that make up this web application.  The recommended source code directory
     structure makes this very easy because the <javac> task automatically
     works its way down a source code hierarchy and compiles any class that
     has not yet been compiled, or where the source file is newer than the
     class file.

     Feel free to adjust the compilation option parameters (debug,
     optimize, and deprecation) to suit your requirements.  It is also
     possible to base them on properties, so that you can adjust this
     behavior at runtime.

     The "compile" task depends on the "prepare" task, so the deployment
     home directory structure will be created if needed the first time.
