renovate/lib/modules/manager/ant

Extracts Apache Ant dependencies from build.xml files that use the maven-resolver-ant-tasks or maven-ant-tasks library. Dependencies are looked up using the Maven datasource.

Supported syntax

Renovate extracts dependencies from <dependency> elements in two formats:

• Separate attributes: groupId, artifactId, version, and optional scope
• Coords attribute: coords="group:artifact:version" or coords="group:artifact:version:scope"

Property resolution

Version values can reference Ant properties defined via <property name="..." value="..."/> or loaded from external .properties files via <property file="..."/>. Ant's first-definition-wins semantics are respected.

File traversal

Renovate follows <import file="..."/> elements to extract dependencies from imported build files. Properties defined before an <import> are available in the imported file.

Registry URLs

Renovate discovers Maven registry URLs from:

• settingsFile attribute on <artifact:dependencies> elements (parsed as a Maven settings.xml)
• Inline <remoteRepository url="..." /> elements within dependency blocks

Discovered registries are scoped to their dependency block.
