<project
name="Ant Example" default="execute">
<target
name="init" depends="clean">
<mkdir
dir="build/classes" />
</target>
<target
name="compile" depends="init">
<javac
srcdir="src" destdir="build/classes" />
</target>
<target
name="execute" depends="compile">
<java
classname="com.chennaisunday.helloworld.HelloWorld"
classpath="build/classes" />
