      Apache .NET Ant Library&#x2122;

                        <p>The Apache .NET Antlib provides tasks that support

      Apache .NET Ant Library 1.1
    </h3>
                        <h3>February 4, 2011 - Apache .NET Ant Library 1.1
      Available</h3>
                                <p>Apache .NET Ant Library 1.1 is now available for
      download as <a href="http://ant.apache.org/antlibs/bindownload.cgi">binary</a>
      or <a href="http://ant.apache.org/antlibs/srcdownload.cgi">source</a>
      release.</p>
                                <p>This release fixes a few bugs and adds new tasks for the
        F# compiler and the tallow tool of the WiX toolkit.</p>

      Idea
    </h3>
                        <p>This library doesn't strive to replace NAnt or MSBuild, its
      main purpose is to help those of us who work on projects
      crossing platform boundaries.  With this library you can use Ant
      to build and test the Java as well as the .NET parts of your
      project.</p>
                                <p>This library provides a special version of the
      <code>&lt;exec&gt;</code> task tailored to run .NET executables.
      On Windows it will assume the Microsoft framework is around and
      run the executable directly, while it will invoke Mono on any
      other platform.  Of course you can override these
      assumptions.</p>
                                <p>Based on this a few tasks to run well known .NET utilities
      from within Ant are provided, namely tasks to run <a href="http://www.nunit.org/">NUnit</a>, <a href="http://nant.sf.net/">NAnt</a>, <a href="http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowForum.aspx?ForumID=27&amp;SiteID=1">MSBuild</a>
      and the <a href="http://wix.sf.net/">Wix</a> toolkit.</p>
                                <p>The initial .NET tasks of Ant (compiler tasks for C#, J# and VB.NET
      for example) have also been moved to this Antlib and will see further
      development here.</p>
