ANT scripting: mail tasks

rj412

http://ant.apache.org/manual/tasksoverview.html#mail

Anybody has succesfully configured and used mail task with your ANT script?

<mail mailhost="smtp.myisp.com" mailport="1025" subject="Test build">
<from address="config@myisp.com"/>
<replyto address="me@myisp.com"/>
<to address="all@xyz.com"/>
<message>The ${buildname} nightly build has completed</message>
<attachments>
<fileset dir="dist">
<include name="**/*.zip"/>
</fileset>
</attachments>
</mail>

Do I need additional jar files for this to work?

You will need mail.jar and activation.jar to be in the path for this.
Have a look at:

http://ant.apache.org/manual/Tasks/mail.html
and
