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 is an AppScan® Source build tool that integrates into your Apache Ant build environment. Rather than create and configure AppScan® Source project and application files manually in AppScan® Source for Analysis, Ounce/Ant automatically generates AppScan® Source projects and applications that contain all necessary information, such as source files and class path. AppScan® Source can then scan the project and application files.

Apache Ant Version 1.7 or later is required for use with Ounce/Ant.
