Control behavior of Ant script with Build file properties

You can control the way IntelliJ IDEA executes Ant scripts. If you want to perform execution in the background, change amount of memory allocated to the build process, or set other execution options, you'll need to open the Ant build file properties dialog. This section describes how to do it.

Opening the Build File properties dialog

In the Ant tool window, select the desired build file.
Do one of the following:
- On the context menu of the selection, choose Properties.
- Click button on the Ant Build toolbar.
- Press Alt+Enter.

For specific tasks refer to the following procedures:

Increasing memory heap of the build process.
Executing Build File In Background.
Define additional Ant classpath.
Define Ant execution options.
Define Ant filters.
