How to setup Jenkins with custom Ant Home

Ola guys! From today onwards am also including fresh new posts on Jenkins. Jenkins as you know is a popular continuous integration tool where you can setup jobs and define steps to create custom builds. The main advantage of any CI tool is the quick fast feedback. It thereby reduces the overall delivery time and are to able to spot for any errors really fast. I'll post another article on the overall generic advantages of Jenkins later.

In today's post I will start with a very simple basic configuration. I assume you have downloaded Jenkins and set it up on your machine.

Now before we start using Jenkins to perform builds, we need to configure it right. Let's do that.

Go to Manage Jenkins -> Configure System and scroll down to the Ant installations.

If you have already downloaded Ant and set up your custom ANT_HOME and want to use that, then do the following :

Untick Install Automatically and enter the details for ANT_HOME and give it a nice name to identify it. Check the following screenshot for reference.


Now just click Apply. Save. Cheers!
