Target file in Ant NetBeans project

Question

My NetBeans project creates my.jar file in /dist/ directory. Trying to edit build.xml to copy this file to another location using ssh. But how to know what is target file name property?

<property name="username"  value="aaa"/>
        <property name="password"  value="bbb"/>
        <property name="ip"  value="10.1.100.55"/>
        <property name="dir"  value="/opt/aaa/"/>

        <scp file="${dist.jar.dir}${??target??}" todir="${username}:${password}@${ip}:${dir}" trust="true" />

Answer 1

Your Netbeans project has a nbproject/project.properties file, which gets included in build.xml (indirectly) and contains lots of useful variables - including the one that contains a file path to the built jar file. It should be called dist.jar .

 <scp file="${dist.jar}" todir="${username}:${password}@${ip}:${dir}" trust="true" />

Check the actual properties file for more variable names, such as dist.dir , src.dir , etc.
