ANT: THE DEFINITIVE GUIDE (2ND ED.)

Ant, born during a moment of intense frustration during a cross-platform build, is the tool of choice for Java applications, and expert Holzer keeps in step with its newest features and increasing complexity in this edition, starting with advice on getting and running Ant, using properties and types, building Java code, deploying builds, testing builds with JUnit, getting source code from CVS depositories, and executing external programs. For those seeking more he describes developing for the Web, using XML and XDoclet, performing optional tasks such as using sound and creating splash text, integrating Ant with Eclipse, and extending and customizing Ant.
