How do I build ant's build.xml using NetBeans?

问题:

I've downloaded sources of one application using Subversion repository, but it turned out, that those sources were not composed to a NetBeans project. It was said in the manual, that I can build it using Apache Ant. I know, that NetBeans supports Ant by default. So here is the question - how can I tell NetBeans to run it's Ant on a specified build.xml?

回答1:

File -> New Project

Then in Categories pick Java and then in Projects select Java Free-Form Project and hit Next. After that you will configure the project by selecting the location of the project the and build.xml and then associate targets in the build.xml with actions in the IDE.
