Building and testing Java with Ant

You can create a continuous integration (CI) workflow in GitHub Actions to build and test your Java project with Ant.

Introduction

This guide shows you how to create a workflow that performs continuous integration (CI) for your Java project using the Ant build system. The workflow you create will allow you to see when commits to a pull request cause build or test failures against your default branch; this approach can help ensure that your code is always healthy. You can extend your CI workflow to upload artifacts from a workflow run.

GitHub-hosted runners have a tools cache with pre-installed software, which includes Java Development Kits (JDKs) and Ant. For a list of software and the pre-installed versions for JDK and Ant, see Using GitHub-hosted runners.

Prerequisites

You should be familiar with YAML and the syntax for GitHub Actions. For more information, see:

We recommend that you have a basic understanding of Java and the Ant framework. For more information, see the Apache Ant Manual.

Using an Ant workflow template

빠르게 시작하려면 워크플로 템플릿을 리포지토리의 .github/workflows 디렉터리에 추가합니다.

GitHub provides a workflow template for Ant that should work for most Java with Ant projects. The subsequent sections of this guide give examples of how you can customize this workflow template.

  1. GitHub에서 리포지토리의 기본 페이지로 이동합니다.

  2. 리포지토리 이름 아래에서 작업을 클릭합니다.

    "github/docs" 리포지토리의 탭 스크린샷. "작업" 탭은 주황색 윤곽선으로 강조 표시됩니다.

  3. 리포지토리에 워크플로가 이미 있는 경우 새 워크플로를 클릭합니다.

  4. The "Choose a workflow" page shows a selection of recommended workflow templates. Search for "Java with Ant".

  5. On the "Java with Ant" workflow, click Configure.

  6. Edit the workflow as required. For example, change the Java version.

  7. Click Commit changes.

    The ant.yml workflow file is added to the .github/workflows directory of your repository.

Java 버전 및 아키텍처 지정

워크플로 템플릿은 x64 플랫폼의 경우 OpenJDK 8을 포함하도록 PATH을(를) 설정합니다. 다른 버전의 Java를 사용하거나 다른 아키텍처(x64 또는 x86)를 대상으로 지정하려는 경우 setup-java 작업을 사용하여 다른 Java 런타임 환경을 선택할 수 있습니다.

예를 들어 x64 플랫폼용 Adoptium에서 제공하는 JDK 버전 11을 사용하려면 setup-java 작업을 사용하고 java-version, distribution 및 architecture 매개 변수를 각각 '11', 'temurin' 및 x64로 구성할 수 있습니다.

YAML
steps:
  - uses: actions/checkout@v4
  - name: Set up JDK 11 for x64
    uses: actions/setup-java@v4
    with:
      java-version: '11'
      distribution: 'temurin'
      architecture: x64

Building and testing your code

You can use the same commands that you use locally to build and test your code.

The workflow template will run the default target specified in your build.xml file. Your default target will commonly be set to build classes, run tests and package classes into their distributable format, for example, a JAR file.

If you use different commands to build your project, or you want to run a different target, you can specify those. For example, you may want to run the jar target that's configured in your build-ci.xml file.

YAML
steps:
  - uses: actions/checkout@v4
  - uses: actions/setup-java@v4
    with:
      java-version: '17'
      distribution: 'temurin'
  - name: Run the Ant jar target
    run: ant -noinput -buildfile build-ci.xml jar

Packaging workflow data as artifacts

After your build has succeeded and your tests have passed, you may want to upload the resulting Java packages as a build artifact. This will store the built packages as part of the workflow run, and allow you to download them. Artifacts can help you test and debug pull requests in your local environment before they're merged. For more information, see Storing and sharing data from a workflow.

Ant will usually create output files like JARs, EARs, or WARs in the build/jar directory. You can upload the contents of that directory using the upload-artifact action.

YAML
steps:
  - uses: actions/checkout@v4
  - uses: actions/setup-java@v4
    with:
      java-version: '17'
      distribution: 'temurin'

  - run: ant -noinput -buildfile build.xml
  - uses: actions/upload-artifact@v4
    with:
      name: Package
      path: build/jar
