Transforming Ant Build Files

Oxygen XML Developer includes a few built-in transformation scenarios that allow you to transform Ant build files. They are listed in the Ant section in the Configure Transformation Scenario(s) dialog box:

• ANT - This transformation scenario runs as an external process that executes the Ant build script with the built-in Ant distribution (Apache Ant version 1.8.2) that is included with Oxygen XML Developer, or optionally with a custom Ant distribution configured in the scenario.
• ANT (with Saxon 9 EE XSLT support) - This transformation scenario allows Ant XSLT tasks to be performed using Saxon 9 JAR libraries that come bundled with Oxygen XML Developer and all defined XML catalogs are also taken into account during the transformation.
