What is it?

TiniAnt (pronounced "teeny ant" or "tiny ant") is an extension to Ant that simplifies building applications for the TINI, in a cross-platform manner.

The current version is 1.2.0. You can download it by clicking on the links at the left.

Description

It's simple:

  • Ant is a portable project management tool for Java projects, replacing system-specific build scripts and makefiles. You write a build description in XML, and Ant does the rest, generally speeding things up since it rarely needs to invoke additional instances of the Java Virtual Machine.
  • TINI is a Java Virtual Machine with Ethernet, serial, 1-wire, I2C, and CAN interfaces all on a single SIMM board. You can web-enable virtually any piece of hardware with it as well as provide computer control. It's the world's smallest web server. Building a Java application for the TINI involves compiling on your host system, running some special programs, and transferring the resulting file by FTP. With TiniAnt, Unix users don't have to worry about batch files and Windows users don't have to worry about shell scripts to do that.

TiniAnt works with both regular and one-wire applications on the TINI.
