Apache Ant 101: Make Java builds a snap

Matt Chapman, Software engineer, IBM
Matt Chapman is an advisory software engineer in the IBM Java Technology Centre in Hursley, U.K. He has spent the last seven years working with Java technology, including Java virtual machine implementations for a variety of platforms, the user interface toolkits Swing and AWT, and, more recently, tooling for the Eclipse platform. Matt has a degree in computer science and is also a Sun-certified Java programmer. You can contact him at mchapman@uk.ibm.com.

Summary:  Whether you're a veteran user of Apache Ant or just starting out with this open source Java-based build tool, this tutorial provides a wealth of information. With Java developer and Ant enthusiast Matt Chapman from the IBM Java Technology Centre, you'll walk through the steps involved in writing a build file for a simple Java project, and then look at some of Ant's other useful functions, including filesystem operations and pattern matching. You'll finish the course by writing our own Java class that extends Ant's functionality.
