 							In this use case we present how to bridge different build tools between themselves: Make, Ant, and Maven.
 							Make, one of the most common build tool, has its own syntax and can be used only on UNIX platform.
 							Ant is platform-independent and its syntax is XML-based. It is extended using Java classes. Maven is an extension proposed in addition to Ant functionalities.
 							It proposes an easier creation of plug-in and it allows more reusability contrary to Ant. Maven need two build files: project.xml (project descriptor), and maven.xml.
 						</p>
 						<p align="justify">
 							In this case study, from a "Make configuration" we will generate a corresponding "Ant configuration" and "Maven configuration".
 							The overall approach is summarized in the following figure:

 							For each build tool, we have defined its metamodel by using the <a href="http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/KM3">KM3</a> textual format
 							(Ant, Make, Maven). A visual presentation of these metamodels is also available (Ant, Make, Maven).
 						</p>
 						<p align="justify">
 							The Injection and Extraction phases were implemented by using XML bridges. As the Ant and Maven files are XML-based, we can inject an
 							XML-based file or extract into an XML-based file the content of a model (conforms to the XML metamodel). As a Make is not an XML-based tool, we have created an
 							ad-hoc solution to transform a Makefile into a corresponding XML file.
 						</p>
 						<p align="justify">
 							The Model-to-Model transformation phase was implemented by using ATL model-to-model transformations. Following bridges "Make to Ant" and "Ant to Maven" have been developped
 							with ATL.
