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 <http://ant.apache.org/>. - - -  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. -   - -  Thanks for using Ant. - -                                          The Apache Ant Project -                                         <http://ant.apache.org/> |
