 Description: Java based build tool like make
- A system independent (i.e. not shell based) build tool that uses XML
- files as "Makefiles". This package contains the scripts and the core
- tasks libraries.
+ Apache Ant is a Java library and command-line tool whose mission is to drive
+ processes described in build files as targets and extension points dependent
+ upon each other. The main known usage of Ant is the build of Java applications.
+ Ant supplies a number of built-in tasks allowing to compile, assemble, test
+ and run Java applications. Ant can also be used effectively to build non Java
+ applications, for instance C or C++ applications. More generally, Ant can be
+ used to pilot any type of process which can be described in terms of targets
