minimal-tool-chain

This repository contains code for a minimal Java tool chain with

• Some Java source code, see src/main/java
• Some JUnit tests, see src/test/java
• An Ant build file with targets for build, test, jar, and clean. See build.xml.
• The source files are organized according to the Maven standard directory layout. See https://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-the-standard-directory-layout.html .This facilitates integration with other tools, like the Continuous Integration tool Travis.
• We don't use any dependencies to download libraries. Instead, all dependent libraries are in included in the project in the lib folder.
• There is a fork of this project that uses Gradle instead of Ant, and that has a .travis.yml file for integration with Travis. See https://github.com/llbit/minimal-tool-chain
