In version 2020R2, the isCOBOL compiler was integrated in Apache Ant builds.
You can find an ant build script in the $ISCOBOL/samples/issamples folder, with instructions to implement it in the README.md in the same folder.

If you are using a version prior to isCOBOL 2020 R2, you'll find a generic example attached of a build.xml ant script to use with isCOBOL and ant.
Modify the directory and options properties at the beginning of the file, especially the one pointing to the iscobol.dir:

   <property value="/opt/veryant/iscobol" name="iscobol.dir"/>

so that it points to the directory where you have isCOBOL installed.

For more information you can read the Apache Ant integration documentation in isCOBOL's Programming Guides.
