Date: 2014jun16 Update: 2024dec24 Product: Ant Language: xml Q. Ant: display a progress message during my Ant build A. Its actually easy, add an `echo` element like this:

<echo message="Your message here"/>

For example:

<echo message="Starting compile"/> <target name="compile" depends="init" description="Compile the source"> <javac destdir="${build}" ... </javac> </target> <echo message="Finished compile"/>
