Downloading Ant
Use the links below to download a source distribution of Ant from one of our mirrors. You must verify the integrity of the downloaded files using signatures downloaded from our main distribution directory. Ant is distributed as `zip`, `tar.gz` and `tar.bz2` archives - the contents are the same. Please note that the `tar.*` archives contain file names longer than 100 characters and have been created using GNU tar extensions. Thus they must be untarred with a GNU compatible version of `tar`. If you do not see the file you need in the links below, please see the master distribution directory or, preferably, its mirror.
Mirror
You are currently using [preferred]. If you encounter a problem with this mirror, please select another mirror. If all mirrors are failing, there are backup mirrors (at the end of the mirrors list) that should be available. Other mirrors:
Current Release of Ant
Currently, Apache Ant 1.5.1 is the best available version, see the release notes. `.zip` archive: jakarta-ant-1.5.1-src.zip [PGP] [MD5] `.tar.gz` archive: jakarta-ant-1.5.1-src.tar.gz [PGP] [MD5] `.tar.bz2` archive: jakarta-ant-1.5.1-src.tar.bz2 [PGP] [MD5]
Nightly Builds
If you wish to use the latest Ant features, you can try downloading a nightly build.
Old Ant Releases
Older releases of Ant can be found here. Those releases are only provided as `zip` archives that can be extracted by `jar xf` archive.zip - we highly recommend to not use those releases but upgrade to Ant's latest release.
Verify Releases
It is essential that you verify the integrity of the downloaded files using the PGP or MD5 signatures. The PGP signatures can be verified using PGP or GPG. First download the KEYS as well as the `asc` signature file for the particular distribution. Make sure you get these files from the main distribution directory, rather than from a mirror. Then verify the signatures using `% pgpk -a KEYS % pgpv jakarta-ant-src-1.5.1.tar.gz.asc` or `% pgp -ka KEYS % pgp jakarta-ant-src-1.5.1.tar.gz.asc` or `% gpg -import KEYS % gpg -verify jakarta-ant-src-1.5.1.tar.gz.asc` Alternatively, you can verify the MD5 signature on the files. A unix program called `md5` or `md5sum` is included in many unix distributions. It is also available as part of GNU Textutils. Windows users can get binary md5 programs from here, here, or here. We highly recommend to verify the PGP signature, though.
