Soon after its launch, Ant succeeded in taking the Java world by storm, becoming the most widely used tool for building applications in Java environments. Like most popular technologies, Ant quickly went through a series of early revision cycles. With each new version, more functionality was added, and more complexity was introduced. Ant evolved from a simple-to-learn build tool into a full-fledged testing and deployment environment. Ant: The Definitive Guide has been reworked, revised and expanded upon to reflect this evolution.

assumes significant java programming knowledge and experience. geared towards java developers, not necessarily buildmeisters. there was less about ANT and more about things that interact with ANT than i expected (probably because a book restricted to ANT only would be about 40 pages long) and those other things that ANT interacts with are heavily influenced by the author's preferences (ie, java, junit, CVS). assumes junit knowledge - i had trouble executing the junit examples; the code in the examples seemed bad. at least i couldn't get it to work as written. i managed to figure out how to run it with several hours of googling, but the book wasn't helpful.
