| <P CLASS="Para">This chapter covers Eclipse's external tools framework, and its |
| integration with <a href="http://ant.apache.org/">Ant</a>, the build tool from |
| the <a href="http://www.apache.org/">Apache Software Foundation</a>. For more |
| information on Ant, see the <a href="http://ant.apache.org/manual/index.html">Apache |
| Ant manual</a> for documentation. This chapter assumes a basic knowledge of |
| Ant.</P> |
| |
| |
| <P CLASS="Para">This chapter is split into three main sections. First, the basics |
| of working with Ant buildfiles in Eclipse are covered. Next, several Eclipse |
| use cases will be worked through, in which Ant buildfiles can make life a little |
| easier. Finally, the entire external tools framework and how to use non-Ant |
| tools is considered.</P> |
