|
|---|
| 34 | knowledge of Ant. The command-line tool supports a subset of the parameters that are available to
|
|---|
| 35 | the Ant builds.</p>
|
|---|
| 36 |
|
|---|
| 37 | <p class="p">The command-line tool is a wrapper around the Ant interface; it takes the simplified parameters
|
|---|
| 38 | as input, converts them to Ant parameters, and then runs an Ant build. The Ant parameters that
|
|---|
| 39 | are passed to the DITA-OT are saved to the <span class="ph filepath">property.temp</span> file that is
|
|---|
| 40 | written to the output directory.</p>
|
|---|
| 41 |
|
|---|
| 42 | <p class="p">For individual builds, the additional Java overhead is minimal, but for repeated or
|
|---|
| 43 | server-based builds, the extra memory usage might become an issue. Applications that embed the
|
|---|
| 44 | toolkit should invoke Ant directly.</p>
