NAME
ant - a Java based make tool.
SYNOPSIS
ant [OPTIONS] [TARGET [TARGET2 [TARGET3] ...]]
DESCRIPTION
Like make ant is a tool by which projects can be build. But unlike it,
ant is based on Java which means it will run on every platform for
which a Java Virtual Machine is available. This makes it a great tool
for building Java software.

gets.
