    <title>Introduction to Apache Ant</title>

    <para>
      The <application>Apache Ant</application> package is a
      <application>Java</application>-based build tool. In theory, it is
      like the <command>make</command> command, but without
      <command>make</command>'s wrinkles. <application>Ant</application> is
      different. Instead of a model that is extended with shell-based commands,
      <application>Ant</application> is extended using
      <application>Java</application> classes. Instead of writing shell
      commands, the configuration files are XML-based, calling out a target
      tree that executes various tasks. Each task is run by an object that
      implements a particular task interface.
