BUILDING A COMMAND-LINE JAVA APPLICATION
The code for the command-line application is now complete.
DEPLOYMENT
There are many options for deploying your Java application, and while you are
free to choose any method you are comfortable with, this scenario utilizes the
Ant build scripts you created earlier.
Redo the build steps you tested earlier.
1. Open a command prompt and use the “cd” command to change to the root
folder of your project. For example:
cd C:\TintoPoint
2. You should have all the build script files located in this root directory.
3. Type “arcgisant” at the command prompt.
4. You should receive output similar to the following:
Buildfile: build.xml
init
validate-engine:
compile:
execute:
[java] Tin to Point: ArcGIS Engine Developer Sample
[java] - Path to Tin: Q:\dop\data\imagery\tin\bachtin
[java] - Calculating ...
[java] - Path to Generated Shapefile:
Q:\dop\data\workspace\newshp.shp
[java] Tin to Point - Done
run-scenario:
BUILD SUCCESSFUL
Total time: 9 seconds
If for any reason your build fails, ensure you have your environment correctly set
and parameters correctly set in the sample.properties file. If your build does not
compile, ensure that your source code is correct.
TROUBLESHOOTING
If your build returns the following:
Buildfile: build.xml
init:
validate-engine:
compile:
execute:
[java] Tin to Point: ArcGIS Engine Developer Scenario
[java] Usage: TintoPoint [Path-to-tin] [Path-to-output-shapefile]
run-scenario:

BUILD SUCCESSFUL
then your source code has successfully compiled, but you have not provided path
variables in the sample.properties file.
