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>

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

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
