Apache Ant1.9.9

Apache Ant is a Java-based build tool. In theory, it is kind of like make, without make's wrinkles.

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 and tasks.
