In theory it is kind of like "make" + without makes wrinkles and with the full portability of pure java code. + + + Why? + ---- + + Why another build tool when there is already make, gnumake, nmake, jam, + and others? Because all of those tools have limitations that its original + author couldn't live with when developing software across multiple platforms. + + Make-like tools are inherently shell based. They evaluate a set of + dependencies and then execute commands not unlike what you would issue on a + shell. This means that you can easily extend these tools by using or writing + any program for the OS that you are working on. However, this also means that + you limit yourself to the OS, or at least the OS type such as Unix, that you + are working on. + + Makefiles are inherently evil as well. Anybody who has worked on them for any + time has run into the dreaded tab problem. "Is my command not executing + because I have a space in front of my tab!!!" said the original author of Ant + way too many times. Tools like Jam took care of this to a great degree, but + still use yet another format to use and remember. + + Ant is different. Instead a model where it is extended with shell based + commands, it is extended using Java classes. Instead of writing shell + commands, the configuration files are XML based calling out a target tree + where various tasks get executed. Each task is run by an object which + implements a particular Task interface. + + Granted, this removes some of the expressive power that is inherent by being + able to construct a shell command such as `find . -name foo -exec rm {}` but + it gives you the ability to be cross platform. To work anywhere and + everywhere. And hey, if you really need to execute a shell command, Ant has + an exec rule that allows different commands to be executed based on the OS + that it is executing on. + + The Latest Version + ------------------ + + Details of the latest version can be found on the Apache Ant + Project web site . + + + Documentation + ------------- + + Documentation is available in HTML format, in the docs/ directory. + For information about building and installing Ant, see + docs/manual/index.html + + + Licensing + --------- + + This software is licensed under the terms you may find in the file + named "LICENSE" in this directory. + + This distribution includes cryptographic software.
