<subsection name="Ant in Action"
isbn="193239480X">
<p>Published April/May 2007, and covering Ant 1.7.</p>
<p>This is a major rewrite of the first edition; still 600 pages long.
</p>
<p>
This book moves up from Ant1.5 to Java1.5 and 1.7, with a near-complete
rewrite of the applied-ant section, covering new topics such as
antlibs, repository management with Ivy, Xml Schema validation,
EJB3.0/Java EE development and advanced deployment using SmartFrog.
The ant coding section looks at AntUnit, antlib authoring and
scripting languages, while the beginners chapters, the first third
of the book, still shows developers how to build, test, package and
redistribute a Java application.
</p>
<p>
If you are one of the 20,000+ owners of the first edition, it is now
obsolete. Sorry :)

on how to use the tasks. Contents includes JUnit, CVS, execution, basic
deployment, Web application development and XDoclet. There is also coverage
of XDoclet, and a chapter on how to extend Ant in Java.</p>

<subsection name="Managing Build Complexity with Apache Ant 1.6">
<p>As Apache Ant is applied to increasingly difficult tasks,
its users are creating more complex and less legible build
files. This is due, in part, to the limited tools for
decomposition and code reuse within previous versions of
Ant.</p>
