Hi to all,
How to run an ant file whose name is not build.xml.
I have to run a file whose name is deploy.xml and has a target deploy.
I am trying this ant -buildfile deploy.xml, but it gives build.xml does not exist. Is it required to have a file with name build.xml.

Your help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Chhota don.

Using ant -buildfile deploy.xml should work. Are you running ant from the directory in which deploy.xml is in?
