In theory, it is kind of like make , but without make 's wrinkles. Ant is different. Instead of a model where it is extended with shell-based commands, Ant 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 that implements a particular task interface. You may need additional libraries to satisfy the build requirements of various packages installed using Apache Ant. One such library is the JUnit More generally, Ant can be used to pilot any type of process which can be described in terms of targets and tasks. Ant is written in Java.
Users of Ant can develop their own "antlibs" containing Ant tasks and types, and are offered a large number of ready-made commercial or open-source "antlibs". Ant is extremely flexible and does not impose coding conventions or directory layouts to the Java projects which adopt it as a build tool. Software development projects looking for a solution combining build tool and dependency management can use Ant in combination with Apache Ivy.
Apache Ant 1. The Apache Ant team currently maintains two lines of development. The 1. Both lines are based off of Ant 1. We recommend using 1. It is good practice to verify the integrity of the distribution files, especially if you are using one of our mirror sites. In order to do this you must use the signatures from our main distribution directory.
Ant is distributed as zip , tar. Please note that the tar. Thus they must be untarred with a GNU compatible version of tar. If you do not see the file you need in the links below, please see the master distribution directory or, preferably, its mirror. If you encounter a problem with this mirror, please select another mirror.
If all mirrors are failing, there are backup mirrors at the end of the mirrors list that should be available. The Apache Ant team currently maintains two lines of development.
