| <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>. If you |
| are not familiar with Ant, please look the <a href="http://ant.apache.org/manual/index.html">Apache Ant manual</a> |
| for documentation. This chapter assumes you have a basic knowledge of Ant.</P> |
| |
| |
| <P CLASS="Para">This chapter is split into three main sections. First, we cover |
| the basics of working with Ant buildfiles in Eclipse. Next, we work through |
| several Eclipse use cases in which Ant buildfiles can make life a little easier. |
| Finally, we consider the entire external tools framework and how to use non-Ant |
| tools.</P> |
