NAME¶
ant - a Java based make tool.
SYNOPSIS¶
ant [OPTIONS] [TARGET [TARGET2 [TARGET3] ...]]
DESCRIPTION¶
Like make ant is a tool by which projects can be build. But unlike it, ant is based on Java which means it will run on every platform for which a Java Virtual Machine is available. This makes it a great tool for building Java software.
By default it takes information from build.xml which describes the targets.
