[Red5] ant build.xml for personal webapps for new users

[joseph wamicha]

Hi,

In response to Louie Penaflor, I'll write this small howto, coz it wasn't
very clear for me too.

Each time you create your own application, you have to rebuild it for red5
and then restart red5 (ie ./red5.sh or red5.bat or ant server) red5 and your
changes would now be reflected ie you can connect to your application
(provided there were no errors during wiring process).
The build.xml was made using the red5 default build.xml

HOWTO

1. The red5 webapps structure is like this:
/red5_server/webapps/name-of-your-application/WEB-INF

2. Put the build.xml file in your WEB-INF folder

3. Ensure that your source packages are in the folder WEB-INF:
ie /red5_server/webapps/name-of-your-application/WEB-INF/src

So your application structure would be:
/red5_server/webapps/name-of-your-application/WEB-INF/src/name/of/your/package

4. Throw in the build.xml attached with this mail message into the WEB-INF
folder ie:
/red5_server/webapps/name-of-your-application/WEB-INF/[Drop it here]

5. Edit the target property at the top of your build.xml file:
<property name="target.jar" value="nameofyourapp.jar"/>

6. Everytime you want to build your application:
#ant build
or
#ant
to build your application

You may also wish to make a jar of your application, run:
#ant jar

Now restart red5 once your build is ok and off you go.

I haven't tested it on jdk1.6 but you probably just need to change the
following under the target build from:
compiler="javac1.6"
source="1.6"
target="1.6"

to
compiler="javac1.6"
source="1.6"
target="1.6"

Hope this helps.
