The main known usage of Ant is the build of Java 1.7 +applications. Ant supplies a number of built-in tasks allowing to compile, 1.8 +assemble, test and run Java applications. Ant can also be used effectively to 1.9 +build non Java applications, for instance C or C++ applications. More 1.10 +generally, Ant can be used to pilot any type of process which can be 1.11 +described in terms of targets and tasks. 1.12 + 1.13 +Ant is written in Java. Users of Ant can develop their own "antlibs" 1.14 +containing Ant tasks and types, and are offered a large number of ready-made 1.15 +commercial or open-source "antlibs". 1.16 + 1.17 +Ant is extremely flexible and does not impose coding conventions or directory 1.18 +layouts to the Java projects which adopt it as a build tool. 1.19 + 1.20 +Software development projects looking for a solution combining build tool and 1.21 +dependency management can use Ant in combination with Apache Ivy. 1.22 + 1.23 +The Apache Ant project is part of the Apache Software Foundation.
