  Apache Ant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ant was created as a simple tool to take an XML "build file" and use it to build Tomcat, regardless of which platform the developer was using.
Coincidentally, the word "ant" was also used as an arbitrarily chosen project name in the paper Recursive Make Considered Harmful [1], which described build-related problems that Apache Ant later proposed to resolve.
Ant has limited fault handling rules, and no persistence of state, so it cannot be safely used to manage a multi-day build.

 Apache Ant
For example, to build the compile target Ant must first create a directory called classes (Ant will only do so if it does not already exist) and then invoke the Java compiler.
Ant solves this problem by providing a large amount of build in functionality which it can then guarantee will behave identically on all platforms.
Ant build files always use the Unix convention, forward slashes, and then convert path specifiers to the appropriate format for the current platform.

 MacDevCenter.com: Ant and AppleScript
There are several reasons why Ant is so popular among software developers (see the list of rewards that it has received here), the most important being the fact that it has made building Java projects, both big and small, easy.
Once invoked, Ant looks for a build file, which is simply an XML file that contains instructions on what has to be done to build this project (by default, this file is named build.xml, and is stored in your project's root directory).
Unfortunately, a thorough tutorial on using Ant is beyond the scope of this article; to gain a deeper understanding of how to use Ant, refer to the manual that is included in the distribution.

They behave exactly like any other Ant property and they are specifically called "input" or "output" in order to distinguish which properties are given in input to the Kanaputs script from the other properties that are returned in output.
