What is Ant ?

1. Ant is a software tool for automating software build processes.
2. Ant uses XML (i.e. configuration file) to describe the build process and its dependencies.
3. Ant is a command line tool whose mission is to drive process described in build files.
4. When compare to other Build systems, Ant is simple enough and hence it is suitable tool for beginners.
5. Ant is an open source tool developed in JAVA.
6. With Ant we can run Selenium Tests without using Eclipse IDE. I mean we can run the tests from the Windows command line. (But we required Eclipse IDE to write the Selenium RC tests as usual).
