Ant is a portable, Java-based build tool designed to support software builds—and many other tasks— on any platform supporting Java. An XML file known as a buildfile specifies which tasks Ant follows when building your project. Ant ships with well over 100 tasks that perform operations ranging from compiling code to playing sound files when a build finishes. Java classes implement Ant tasks that can do anything Java can do. The Ant API is open and designed for extensibility; you can write your own custom tasks if the need arises.
