About this ebook

Pro Apache Ant is a professional-level tutorial for Java and XML developers who want to learn the open source Apache Java-based build tool, Ant. Pro Apache Ant shows you how to be productive with Ant right from the start. Instead of writing shell commands, the configuration files are XML-based. Each task is run by an object that implements a particular Task interface. And, if you really need to execute a shell command, Ant has an exec task that allows different commands based on the OS.
