These targets are a group of, what are called, 'tasks'. Tasks are used for getting work done; they make something happend directly, e.g. move files on the filesystem, compile java files into classes, transfer files from one server to another over ssh. 12 - 13 -While Ant is distributed with around fifty built-in tasks, any number of customized tasks can easily be added by developers outside of the core Ant team. 14 - 15 -WOProject is such a project. WOProject adds a half dozen tasks to Ant. These tasks allow WebObject developers the freedom to use Ant in their build process, instead of the using Apple's XCode suite. 16 - 17 -Reasons for using Ant to build WebObjects frameworks and applications: 18 - 19 -* Ant if highly configurable and flexible, with constant additions from the open source community, and is considered a defacto standard by the Java community 20 - 21 -* Builds of project with a very large number of files without dependency failures 22 - 23 -* Allows easy automation of daily builds for team of developers, i.e. nightly builds for smoke testing, etc.
