Ant configuration

Now we need to setup an Ant build script to build our new HelloWorld Pulpcore project.
Pulpcore has a skeleton ant script in it's project template directory. So we will import this into our project and modify it as needed.

Right click the new project from the Package Explorer tab.

Select Import.

Import file dialog

Select file system and press next.

Browse to the location of the template files in your Pulpcore build directory.

Select the build.xml under the template\project folder.

Press finish.

Import build xml dialog

Open the build.xml and set the following properties.

 
<property name="pulpcore.player.wait" value="true" />
<property name="project.scene" value="HelloWorld" />
<property name="project.jar" value="HelloWorld.jar" />
<property name="project.assets.zip" value="HelloWorld.zip" />
<property name="project.width" value="400" />
<property name="project.height" value="400" />
<property name="project.params" value="" />
<property name="project.codebase" value="" />
<property name="project.version" value="1.0" />
<property name="pulpcore.build" value="release" />
<property name="pulpcore.path" value="../Library/Pulpcore 0.11.3" />
<property name="proguard.path" value="../Library/proguard 4.2/proguard.jar" />
<property name="library.path" value="${java.home}/lib/rt.jar" />
 
    <!--
        Normally you wont need to edit anything below this line
    -->
<property name="pulpcore.version" value="0.11" />
<property name="pulpcore.platform" value="applet" />
<property name="autoload.assets.zip" value="HelloWorld.zip" />
