ANT: The Java Build Tool In Practice (Programming Series)

Ant: The Java Build Tool in Practice is a desktop guide and reference for this Java-based application building tool. Beginning with an overview of Ant, including the basics of installation and file handling, you will find details on the syntax and basic descriptions of the core commands. Subsequent chapters take a pragmatic approach, grouping similar commands by subject, and then discussing them from a "practical use" point of view. Code examples are included throughout the text to illustrate the various capabilities of Ant, and to make learning quick and easy. The companion CD-ROM contains the latest version of Apache Ant and Jakarta Oro, in addition to all the source code from the book.
