<h2>Ant Task</h2>

<b>ProGuard</b> can be run as a task in the Java-based build tool Ant (version
1.6.0 or higher).
<p>

Before you can use the <code>proguard</code> task, you have to tell Ant about
this new task. The easiest way is to add the following line to your
<code>build.xml</code> file:
<p>

<pre>
&lt;taskdef resource="proguard/ant/task.properties"
         classpath="/usr/local/java/proguard/lib/proguard.jar" /&gt;
</pre>
<p>

Please make sure the class path is set correctly for your system.
<p>

There are three ways to configure the ProGuard task: using an external
configuration file, using embedded ProGuard configuration options, or using
the equivalent XML configuration tags. These three ways can be combined,
depending on practical circumstances and personal preference.
<p>

<h3>1. An external ProGuard configuration file</h3>

The simplest way to use the ProGuard task in an Ant build file is to keep your
ProGuard configuration file, and include it from Ant. You can include your
ProGuard configuration file by setting
the <a href="#configuration_attribute"><code>configuration</code></a>
attribute of your
<code>proguard</code> task. Your ant build file will then look like this:
<p>

<pre>
&lt;taskdef resource="proguard/ant/task.properties"
         classpath="/usr/local/java/proguard/lib/proguard.jar" /&gt;
&lt;proguard configuration="myconfigfile.pro"/&gt;
</pre>
<p>

This is a convenient option if you prefer ProGuard's configuration style over
XML, if you want to keep your build file small, or if you have to share your
configuration with developers who don't use Ant.
<p>

<h3>2. Embedded ProGuard configuration options</h3>

Instead of keeping an external ProGuard configuration file, you can also copy
the contents of the file into the nested text of the <code>proguard</code> task
(the PCDATA area). Your Ant build file will then look like this:
<p>

<pre>
&lt;taskdef resource="proguard/ant/task.properties"
         classpath="/usr/local/java/proguard/lib/proguard.jar" /&gt;
&lt;proguard&gt;
  -libraryjars ${java.home}/lib/rt.jar
  -injars      in.jar
  -outjars     out.jar

  -keepclasseswithmembers public class * {
      public static void main(java.lang.String[]);
  }
&lt;/proguard&gt;
</pre>
<p>

Some minor syntactical changes are required in order to conform with the XML
standard.
<p>

Firstly, the <code>#</code> character cannot be used for comments in an XML
file. Comments must be enclosed by an opening <code>&lt;!--</code> and a
closing <code>--&gt;</code>. All occurrences of the <code>#</code> character
can be removed.
<p>

Secondly, the use of <code>&lt;</code> and <code>&gt;</code> characters would
upset the structure of the XML build file. Environment variables are now
enclosed by an opening <code>${</code> and a closing <code>}</code>. This
syntax also allows you to use Ant properties within the ProGuard
configuration. Other occurrences of <code>&lt;</code> and <code>&gt;</code>
have to be encoded as <code>&amp;lt;</code> and <code>&amp;gt;</code>.
<p>

<h3>3. XML configuration tags</h3>

If you really prefer a full-blown XML configuration, you can replace the
ProGuard configuration options by XML configuration tags. The resulting
configuration will be equivalent, but much more verbose and difficult to read,
as XML goes. The remainder of this page presents the supported tags. For a
more extensive discussion of their meaning, please consult the traditional <a
href="usage.html">Usage</a> section. You can find some sample configuration
files in the <code>examples/ant</code> directory of the ProGuard distribution.

<h2>Class Path Attributes and Nested Elements</h2>

    directory).</dd>

<dt><code><b>refid</b></code> = "<i>ref_id</i>"</dt>
