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

89 <para>You may need additional libraries to satisfy the build

91 <application>Apache Ant</application>. Review the table at

94
95 <!-- <para>One such library is the

97 Ant-installed packages will use this library to perform the unit tests
98 during the build process. To install the JUnit library along with the
99 <application>Apache Ant</application> package, download it from
100 <ulink url="http://www.junit.org/"/>, unzip the distribution file (requires
101 <xref linkend="unzip"/>) and copy the <filename>junit.jar</filename> file
102 into the <filename class='directory'>lib</filename> subdirectory of the

107 <para>If the recommendation of having <application>JUnit</application> installed
108 cannot be matched, <application>Apache Ant</application> can be installed
