The FAQ is not the best introductory document. Nor is the Ant manual necessarily easy to learn from.
Ant is a cross-platform tool for helping you build and distribute software. It uses XML and is geared toward Java development. It is a fairly easy tool to learn how to use.
This article is old, but the concepts are still valid (and most if not all of the syntax is probably fine too):
