generic build.xml file for ANT+TestNG+Selenium RC framework

[anand.dandekar]

Is there a generic structure of a build.xml file which can be used for running the test suite from ANT ?
I will have all the test cases specified in Testng.xml which will be run by build file.
But is there any generic structure for build.xml file containing tasks for testng ?

I had described it here - http://www.seleniumtests.com/2011/06/selenium-tutorial-ant-build-for.html
Does it help?

[anand.dandekar]

Thanks Tarun. Yes, that helped indeed.

Also, don't you start and stop the selenium server from build.xml file ?

[softwaretestingforum]

That was for Selenium2, so there was no need to start and shut down.
But yes you can start and shut down server from ant build

How do we start server from ant build?
