This document has an introduction page for people just getting started. This wikibook is also designed to work with other XML-related programming wikibooks such as XML Schema and XForms. This material covers some of the material you need to know about XML to build Ant scripts.
At the same time the introductory material assumed that the reader was familiar with XML. The introductory material also did not contain full examples with complete sample build files and expected output.
For example in the Apache documentation, advanced concepts such as token filters were placed directly in the introduction for beginners. The existing Ant documentation, although useful for advanced Ant users, did not meet the needs of most beginners. Dan felt strongly that a gentle introduction to Ant was necessary for new people to easily learn Ant. This wikibook was based on a presentation created by Dan McCreary for the Minnesota Java Open Source User Group.
