ANT is Another Neat Tool. It is a Java (as in written in, not necessaily for) build tool for applications - the common comparison is with the UNIX MAKE command. It allows the configuration of the common tasks in a project build process in a way that anyone involved in a project can quickly and simply build and deploy the application.

Omar,
We actually have an Ant forum one below this one, so I'm moving this there.

If you have a question about the ant/jbuilder integration, it would belong in IDEs, but questions about ant in general would go in the Ant forum.
