Project definition

The <project> tag in the build.xml file defines the project name and the default target. The project name is an arbitrary name; it is not related to any project name in your Application Developer workspace.

<project name="HelloAnt" default="dist" basedir=".">

The project tag also sets the working directory for the Ant script. All references to directories throughout the script file are based on this directory. A dot (.) means to use the current directory, which, in RAD v7.5, is the directory where the build.xml file resides.
