Ant Now A Top Level Apache Project

Posted by Hemos on from the making-the-move dept.

hardcorejon writes "Am I the only person who didn't notice that on November 18th 2002, the Apache Ant Project had migrated out from under the Jakarta Project umbrella to become a top-level Apache project, joining the ranks of the Apache HTTP Server Project? Well, for those of us who use Ant on a regular basis, this is great news. Ant is an incredibly powerful tool, increasingly a standard build system for many new projects."

    My heart aches and a drowsy numbness pains
    My senses, as though an anteater I'd seen
    (panic spreads and the audience half rise)
    A nasty long-nosed brute
    (screams from the audience)
    With furry legs and sticky darting tongue
    I seem to feel its cruel jaws
    Crunch crunch there go my legs
    Snap snap my thorax too
    (various screaming women faint)
    My head's in a twain, there goes my brain
    Swallow, swallow, swallow, slurp (he loses control)

    Mr Keats, Mr Keats, please leave immediately.

    Well, It's good to see we're getting help from other parts of the animal kingdom. I'll be careful not to step on it.

    What I'd like is a tool that would scan my source tree and make the autotools(autoconf, automake,etc) input files automatically. That would make my life much easier.
