                              <p>Initially Ant was part of the Tomcat code base when it was
        donated to the Apache Software Foundation - it has been
        created by James Duncan Davidson, who also is the original
        author of Tomcat. Ant was there to build Tomcat, nothing
        else.</p>
                                        <p>Soon thereafter several open source Java projects realized
        that Ant could solve the problems they had with makefiles.
        Starting with the projects hosted at Jakarta and the old Java
        Apache project, Ant spread like a virus and now is the build
        tool of choice for a lot of projects.</p>
                                        <p>In January 2000 Ant was moved to a separate CVS module and
        was promoted to a project of its own, independent of
        Tomcat.</p>
                                        <p>The first version of Ant that was exposed a lager audience
        was the one that shipped with Tomcat's 3.1 release on 19 April
        2000.  This version has later been referenced to as Ant
        0.3.1.</p>
                                        <p>The first official release of Ant as a stand alone product was
        Ant 1.1 released on 19 July 2000.  The complete release
        history:</p>

        tar file format. Several different implementations of tar use
        different and incompatible ways to work around this

                                        <p>Ant's &lt;tar&gt; task can create tar archives that use
        the GNU tar extension, and this has been used when putting
        together the distribution. If you are using a different
        version of tar (for example, the one shipping with Solaris),
        you cannot use it to extract the archive.</p>

                              <p>In order to find out which files should be compiled, Ant
        compares the timestamps of the source files to those of the
        resulting <code>.class</code> files.  Opening all source files
        to find out which package they belong to would be very
        inefficient - instead of this, Ant expects you to place your
        source files in a directory hierarchy that mirrors your
        package hierarchy and to point Ant to the root of this
        directory tree with the <code>srcdir</code> attribute.</p>
                                        <p>Say you have <code>&lt;javac srcdir="src"
        destdir="dest" /&gt;</code>.  If Ant finds a file
        <code>src/a/b/C.java</code> it expects it to be in package
        <code>a.b</code> so that the resulting <code>.class</code>
        file is going to be <code>dest/a/b/C.class</code>.</p>
                                        <p>If your setup is different, Ant's heuristic won't work and
        it will recompile classes that are up to date.  Ant is not the
        only tool, that expects a source tree layout like this.</p>

          has a few problems:</p>
                                        <ul>
            <li>It doesn't know about required attributes.  Only
            manual tweaking of this file can help here.</li>
          
            <li>It is not complete - if you add new tasks via
            <code>&lt;taskdef&gt;</code> it won't know about it.  See
            <a href="http://www.sdv.fr/pages/casa/html/ant-dtd.en.html">this
            page</a> by Michel Casabianca for a solution to this
            problem.  Note that the DTD you can download at this page
            is based on Ant 0.3.1.</li>

            <li>It may even be an invalid DTD.  As Ant allows tasks
            writers to define arbitrary elements, name collisions will
            happen quite frequently - if your version of Ant contains
            the optional <code>&lt;test&gt;</code> and
            <code>&lt;junit&gt;</code> tasks, there are two XML
            elements named test (the task and the nested child element
            of <code>&lt;junit&gt;</code>) with different attribute
            lists.  This problem cannot be solved, DTDs don't give a
            syntax rich enough to support this.</li>
