25 |
|

26 | <para>The <application>Apache Ant</application> package is a
|
---|
27 | <application>Java</application>-based build tool. In theory, it is kind of
|
---|
28 | like <command>make</command>, but without <command>make</command>'s wrinkles.
|
---|
29 | Ant is different. Instead of a model where it is extended with shell-based
|
---|
30 | commands, Ant is extended using <application>Java</application> classes.
|
---|
31 | Instead of writing shell commands, the configuration files are
|
---|
32 | <acronym>XML</acronym>-based, calling out a target tree where various tasks
|
---|
33 | get executed. Each task is run by an object that implements a particular task
|
---|
34 | interface.</para>

68 | <para>Note: you may need additional libraries to satisify the build
|

69 | requirements of various packages. Review the table at
|
---|
70 | <ulink url="http://ant.apache.org/manual/install.html#librarydependencies"/>
|
---|
71 | for any prerequisite libraries you may need. One such library is the
|
---|
72 | <application>JUnit</application> testing framework library. Many Ant-installed
|
---|
73 | packages will use this library to perform the unit tests during the build
|
---|
74 | process. To install the JUnit library along with the
|
---|
75 | <application>Apache Ant</application> package, download it from
|
---|
76 | <ulink url="http://www.junit.org/"/>, unzip the distribution file (requires
|
---|
77 | <xref linkend="unzip"/>) and copy the <filename>junit.jar</filename> file
|
---|
78 | into the <filename class='directory'>lib</filename> subdirectory of the
|
---|
79 | <application>Apache Ant</application> source tree before beginning the
