The Ounce/Ant build tool
This section describes how to use Ounce/Ant, an AppScan® Source build utility that integrates AppScan Source and Apache Ant. Integrating Ounce/Ant with your Ant environment helps you automate builds and code assessments.
Ounce/Ant and Apache/Ant integration
The steps outlined in this task topic are necessary to integrate Ounce/Ant into the Apache/Ant build environment.
Setting properties
You can use the var task to set properties any number of times. When invoked, either explicitly or implicitly, ounceCreateProject uses the current property values. You can set properties by one of the methods outlined in this task topic.

- The Ounce/Make build utility
  Ounce/Make is a tool that automates the importing of configuration information into AppScan® Source from build environments that use makefile. Ounce/Make eliminates the need to import configuration information from makefiles manually; this the recommended method of configuring these projects.
- AppScan® Source command line interface (CLI)
  The CLI is an interface to core AppScan® Source functionality.

  - Creating projects
    The ounceCreateProject task generates AppScan® Source projects.
  - Creating and naming applications
    Ounce/Ant can create AppScan® Source applications during operation and group the created AppScan Source projects into the applications.
  - Build integration
    The ounceCli task allows access to the AppScan® Source command line interface (CLI) to scan during a build. The ounceCli task can invoke cli from Ant.
- AppScan® Source Data Access API
  The Data Access API provides access to AppScan® Source-generated assessment results, including findings and finding details. It also provides access to assessment metrics such as analysis date and time, lines of code, V-density, and number of findings.

Setting properties

You can use the var task to set properties any number of times. When invoked, either explicitly or implicitly, ounceCreateProject uses the current property values. You can set properties by one of the methods outlined in this task topic.

Procedure

Use an attribute to an Ounce/Ant task if the attribute exists.
Use a var task before the appropriate AppScan® Source task. Properties set with var remain in scope only for the file in which they are set. To use the var task, the Ant contribution library must be in the Ant lib directory, and the taskdef task must reference it.
```
<taskdef resource="net/sf/antcontrib/antlib.xml"/>
```
Use -D on the Ant command line.
Place the property in a build properties file (typically called build.properties).
