Hello forum I want to use JUnit on jboss, so I have download a JUnit Example that has an ant-build.xml.
Here is where the build.xml is.
C:\JUNITT\junitee-example-1.6.5\
C:\JUNITT\junitee-example-1.6.5\3rdparty\
C:\JUNITT\junitee-example-1.6.5\lib\
C:\JUNITT\junitee-example-1.6.5\example\build.xml:
but my confusion is that, when I open build.xml
I see the following lines that I don't understant at all ,could anybody tell/explaine it to me ?
***************************************






ant more lines, but it is those lines that confused me, specialy "value="${basedir}/../3rdpartyand value="${basedir}/../lib"because if build.xml is in C:\JUNITT\junitee-example-1.6.5\example\build.xml, how can you then refer to
and ?
when C:\JUNITT\junitee-example-1.6.5\example\build.xml is the current directory for build.xml.

seybaa,

Hope this is not too late: the build.xml file you are talking about I believe is found in the following directory:

C:\JUNITT\junitee-example-1.6.5\example

Ant has a variable called the basedir that referes to the current directory. So, when you declare a property that says:



it is simply telling ant to go from

C:\JUNITT\junitee-example-1.6.5\example

up a directory to

C:\JUNITT\junitee-example-1.6.5

and then down to 3rdparty. According to your message, this directory exists.
