  Tutorial: Writing Ant Tasks

Writing Ant Tasks A nice feature of Ant is that it is designed to allow you to add your own tasks and use them in an build. This article shows you the basics of writing an Ant task and how to get a task to work.

Tutorial Details:

Apache Ant is an increasingly popular open source, cross-platform build tool written in Java. Ant's build files are written in XML and generally consist of a project and a set of interdependent targets. These targets contain one or more tasks that can perform all kinds of functions, such as compiling Java source code, creating .zip, .gzip, or .bzip2 archives, cleaning up old files, and so on.
