Ant is a Java-based build tool. Instead of a model where it is extended with shell-based commands, ant is extended using Java classes
Instead of writing shell commands, the configuration files are XML-based, calling out a target tree where various tasks get executed.
Installing Ant :
Add the bin directory to your path. Set the ANT_HOME environment variable to the directory where you installed Ant. Assume ant is installed in c:\ant\. The following sets up the environment:
set ANT_HOME=c:\ant
set JAVA_HOME=...
set PATH=%PATH%;%ANT_HOME%\bin
ant buildfiles are written in XML – build.xml. Each buildfile contains one project and at least one (default) target.
Targets contain task elements
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!-- compile java files from all subdirectories -->
<project name="First" default="build" basedir=".">
<target name="build" >
<javac srcdir="."
debug="false"
optimize="false"
includes="**/*.java"
/>
</target>
</project>
