Configuring Ant to Build a Simple MAK Project

Use this procedure to configure Ant to build a Simple M3 Adaptation Kit (MAK) project. A Simple MAK project uses ‘Ant’ for building the Java sources and in order for ‘Ant’ to work properly, it must be first configured correctly.

  1. Open the MAK Perspective.
  2. Select Window > Preferences. The Preferences window is displayed.
  3. Expand the Ant node and select Runtime. The Runtime settings are displayed.
  4. On the Classpath tab, expand Global Entries.
  5. Ensure that the tools.jar provided has at least the same Java version or higher than the Java version used by Business Engine (BE). For information about Java version requirements, see System Requirements in M3 Adaptation Kit Installation Guide.
  6. If there is no entry for tools.jar, click Add External JARs.
  7. Browse for the JAR file in the local Java SDK installation folder.
  8. Click to save the changes.OK
