    <p>Lets say i have 3 ANT projects each with its build.xml script located at the top level folder</p> <pre><code>proj1 file1.java proj2 file2.java proj3 file3.java </code></pre> <p>I configured Jenkins to build these 3 projects and it builds them and stores the output in three separate folders. </p> <pre><code>/output/proj1/2012-02-28_20-11-06/proj1/distribution/proj1.jar /output/proj2/2012-02-28_20-11-08/proj2/distribution/proj2.jar /output/proj3/2012-02-28_20-11-09/proj3/distribution/proj3.jar </code></pre> <p>The ANT script is the one that puts the jar file in the distribution folder. I want to use these jar files in another project which produces a war file. </p> <p>The jar files that are generated in each project are used to build a WAR file. Is there any way i can configure Jenkins to build proj1, proj2, proj3 then copy the jar files to a specific location which will contain another ANT project which when run will produce a war file? Or does this have to be coded with ANT?</p> <p>Also, is it possible to configure jenkins to do multiple checkouts before running the ANT build script. I am using CVS and would like to do 3 checkouts each using a different tag before running the build. </p> <h2>Edit</h2> <p>I posted the question last night before i went to bed. Reading it again today i think it is not clear enough so i will clarify the requirement again. I have 4 projects that use ANT as the build mechanism and are all stored in a CVS repository. All 4 projects when built form a WAR file that is deployed on a Tomcat application server. </p> <pre><code>proj1 - file1.java - file2.java proj2 - file3.java - file4.java proj3 - file3.java - file4.java proj4 - jsp - home.jsp - css - home.css - WEB-INF - lib - classes - web.xml </code></pre> <p>Each project (except proj4) has an ANT build file which builds the project and produces a JAR file which it stores in a 'distribution' folder on the root folder of the project. For example after proj1 is built it will look like this</p> <pre><code>proj1 - file1.java - file2.java - distribution - classes - file1.class - file2.class - proj1.jar </code></pre> <p>Proj4 has a dependency on proj1, proj2 and proj3 in that it first needs to copy all the jar files into its workarea before it builds a war file. The ANT build file for project4 copies the JAR files from proj1, 2 and 3 and builds a WAR files. The resulting WAR file contains the following structure</p> <pre><code>proj4 - jsp - home.jsp - css - home.css - WEB-INF - lib - proj1.jar - proj2.jar - proj3.jar - classes - web.xml </code></pre> <p>Now to automate the above i need to somehow configure Jenkins and ANT to do the following (in the order shown)</p> <pre><code>- Checkout proj1 from CVS using RELEASE1.1 tag - Build proj1 - Checkout proj2 from CVS using RELEASE1.2 tag - Build proj2 - Checkout proj3 from CVS using RELEASE1.1 tag - Build proj3 - Checkout proj4 from CVS using RELEASE1.1 tag - Copy the proj1.jar, proj2.jar, proj3.jar from the previous 3 builds and copy them to the proj4 WEB-INF/lib folder. - Build proj4 - Deploy the WAR file. </code></pre> <p>I played around with Jenkins yesterday and managed to configure it to build each of the projects but each jar file ends up in an unrelated folder. How can i configure Jenkins to build the projects as i've described above? </p> <p>The environment has the following properties</p> <pre><code>Build tool - ANT OS - Solaris </code></pre> <p>Maven would probably work with this but at the moment there are no plans to introduce Maven. If there is a simple Maven like build tool that i can use to just store the libraries i need that does not require external access then please let me know. </p> <p>Thanks in advance.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
