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

88 <para>You may need additional libraries to satisfy the build
89 requirements of various packages installed using
90 <application>Apache Ant</application>. Review the table at
91 <ulink url="http://ant.apache.org/manual/install.html#librarydependencies"/>
92 for any prerequisite libraries you may need.</para>
93
94 <!-- <para>One such library is the
95 <application>JUnit</application>-3.8.1 testing framework library. Many
96 Ant-installed packages will use this library to perform the unit tests
97 during the build process. To install the JUnit library along with the
98 <application>Apache Ant</application> package, download it from
99 <ulink url="http://www.junit.org/"/>, unzip the distribution file (requires
100 <xref linkend="unzip"/>) and copy the <filename>junit.jar</filename> file
101 into the <filename class='directory'>lib</filename> subdirectory of the
102 <application>Apache Ant</application> source tree before beginning the
103 <application>Apache Ant</application> build.</para> -->

105
106 <para>If the recommendation of having <application>JUnit</application> installed
107 cannot be matched, <application>Apache Ant</application> can be installed
108 anyway but the tests cannot be performed. Remove the reference to
109 the test instructions by running the following command:</para>
