11.12.09 Compiling Scala With Ant For Ralio Access  By Sean CorfieldI'm working on a Railo project that is using some Scala code for part of the system and I'm using Ant to drive the build process. The Scala website has a lot of tools and documentation and you can read about compiling Scala with Ant for the basics of how to get started. What they don't cover there is what is needed to bundle up that compiled Scala code and put it somewhere that Railo can get at. Here's the Ant task I use to create and deploy a JAR:  ${www} defines my web root and ${scala.home} defines where Scala is installed on my system. Read on for more details of the build-scala and docs-scala tasks... The build-scala task compiles the .scala files to .class files (and is very similar to that shown on the Scala website):  The docs-scala task generates JavaDoc-style API documentation from the source code. It's a good idea to do this automatically every time you build the system so the documentation is always up to date. I don't commit the generated docs to git so that no one accidentally gets hold of an old version.  And finally the init-scala task sets up the Scala environment for the build / docs tasks:  Continue reading this article.
