SYNOPSIS

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 tar‐
       gets.
