                              <p>Initially, Ant was part of the Tomcat code base, when it was
        donated to the Apache Software Foundation. It was
        created by James Duncan Davidson, who is also 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 is now 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, and became Apache Ant.</p>
                                        <p>The first version of Ant that was exposed to a larger audience
        was the one that shipped with Tomcat's 3.1 release on 19 April
        2000.  This version has later been referred 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

        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>The solution is to either install GNU tar, which can be

                              <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, 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 source-tree directory structure does not match your
        package structure, 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>
                                        <p>If you have Java source files that aren't declared to
        be part of any package, you can still use the <code>&lt;javac&gt;</code>
        task to compile these files correctly - just set the
        <code>srcdir</code> and <code>destdir</code> attributes to
        the actual directory the source
        files live in and the directory the class files should go into,
        respectively.</p>

                                        <p>If you have only one set and one unset property to test,
        you can specify both an <code>if</code> and an <code>unless</code>
        attribute for the target, and they will act as if they
        are "anded" together.</p>
                                        <p>If you are using a version of Ant 1.3 or earlier, the
        way to work with all other cases is to chain targets together
        to determine the specific state you want to test for.</p>
                                        <p>To see how this works, assume you have three properties:
        <code>prop1</code>, <code>prop2</code>, and <code>prop3</code>.
        You want to test that <code>prop1</code> and <code>prop2</code> 
        are set, and that <code>prop3</code> is not. If the condition
        holds true you want to echo "yes".</p>

        properties. This can be particularly handy when you need much
        finer control than the simple conditions shown here but, of
        course, comes with the overhead of adding JAR files to support
        the language, to say nothing of the added maintenance in requiring
        two languages to implement a single system. See the
