Ant build file to compile NSIS script

I am new to ANT scripting. I need to develop a Ant script to compile .nsi script, which is developed using NSIS 2.46 version.

I am not sure how to start with it.

Can someone suggest how to to do it or post a example Ant script here which does the job of compiling the script which is placed on a local machine drive.

Besides running makensis as an exec task, there exists an NSIS plugin After downloading this and placing the plugin into the lib folder you can activate it like this:

<taskdef name="nsis" classname="net.sf.nsisant.Task">
  <classpath location="nsisant-{version}.jar">
</taskdef>

After that is done, you can run the nsis script like this:

<nsis script="some_script_path\build_me.nsi">
  <!-- eventually some defines here for controlling the nsis script -->     
</nsis>
