5 5  Ant build files are broken into what are called '[[targets>>http://ant.apache.org/manual/using.html#targets]]', similar to a [[Makefile>>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Makefile]]. These targets are a group of, what are called, '[[tasks>>http://ant.apache.org/manual/tasksoverview.html]]'. Tasks are used for getting work done; they make something happend directly, e.g. [[move files>>http://ant.apache.org/manual/CoreTasks/move.html]] on the filesystem, [[compile java>>http://ant.apache.org/manual/CoreTasks/javac.html]] source files into classes, [[transfer files>>http://ant.apache.org/manual/OptionalTasks/scp.html]] from one server to another over ssh, etc.

7 7  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.

9 -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. A few of these tasks are: [[WOCompile>>http://objectstyle.org/woproject-old/ant/wocompile.html]], [[WOApplication>>http://objectstyle.org/woproject-old/ant/woapplication.html]], [[WOFramework>>http://objectstyle.org/woproject-old/ant/woframework.html]]. After dropping the WOProject core jars into Ant's lib directory, these tasks can be used directly in the typical Ant build.xml file in building your WebObjects projects.
