+  What is it? 
+  -----------
+  
+  Ant is a Java based build tool. 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.
