Ant Transformation
An Ant transformation scenario is usually associated with an Ant build script. Oxygen XML Editor plugin runs an Ant transformation scenario as an external process that executes the Ant build script with the built-in Ant distribution (Apache Ant version 1.8.2) that is included with the application, or optionally with a custom Ant distribution configured in the scenario.
To create an Ant transformation scenario, use one of the following methods:
- Use the
Configure Transformation Scenario(s) (Alt + Shift +
T, C (Command + Alt + T, C on OS X)) action from the
toolbar or the XML menu. Then click the New button and select
ANT transformation.
- Use the
Apply Transformation Scenario(s) (Alt + Shift +
T, T (Command + Alt + T, T on OS X)) action from the
toolbar or the XML menu. Then click the New button and select
ANT transformation.
