Ant or what I need?

[oaklander]

I have been using Windows command window to compile my Java Classes for my Servlets, Java Beans and Helper classes. I use Studio as my IDE for creating the Java classes. Most of my Web Applications are just Forms feeding databases (using MVC) and I only have around 7 to 10 class files per Web application.

Should I start to use Ant and/or what is recommended so I can keep up with current technology instead of using Windows command window to compile my Java classes?

Hi,

I recommend you download and install eclipse, that way you can keep up with current technology.

Ant is a very clever tool, but just compiling code with it is sort of having a porsche as a resting chair.

Start with eclipse, by the way it's free.

Cheers
