	Install Jakarta Ant 1.5.1:  
	Please see the official Jakarta Ant website for more information 
	and the 1.5.1 distribution. This release is source-compatible 
	with Ant 1.3 and Ant 1.4, but the task sources must be 
	compiled with those versions of the Ant libraries to be used 
	under those versions of Ant. 
	Sources are available under the Common Public License v. 1.0 
	at <a href="http://eclipse.org/aspectj" target="_top">http://eclipse.org/aspectj</a>.
	</p><p>
	In Ant, third-party tasks can be declared using a taskdef entry in 
	the build script, to identify the name and classes. 
	When declaring a task, include the 
	<tt>aspectjtools.jar</tt> either in the 
	taskdef classpath or in ${ANT_HOME}/lib where it will be added 
	to the system class path by the ant script. 
	You may specify the task script names directly, 
	or use the "resource" attribute to specify the default names:
    </p><pre class="programlisting">
    
  &lt;taskdef 
      resource="org/aspectj/tools/ant/taskdefs/aspectjTaskdefs.properties"/&gt;

    </pre><p>
	The current resource file retains the name "ajc" for the Ajc10 task, 
	and uses "iajc" for the AspectJ post-1.1 task.
    </p><p>
	For more information on using Ant, please refer to Jakarta's 
	documentation on integrating user-defined Ant tasks into builds.
