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

+<para><command>./build.sh -Ddist.dir=/opt/ant-&apache-ant-version;

+installs the package into

+
+<para><command>ln -sf /etc/ant /opt/ant-&apache-ant-version;/etc</command>: 
+The patch changes the configuration directory to 
+<filename class='directory'>/etc/ant</filename> to conform with 
+<acronym>FHS</acronym> guidelines. This command creates a symlink from the 
+configuration directory back to the installation directory as the package is 
+expecting to find the files there.</para>
+
+<para><command>ln -sf ant-&apache-ant-version; /opt/ant</command>: This
