# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description.  Line
# up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|'
# on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in.  You must
# make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct.  It's also
# customary to leave one space after the ':'.

apache-ant: In theory, it is kind of like Make, but without Make's wrinkles.
apache-ant: Why another build tool when there is already make, gnumake, nmake,
apache-ant: jam, and others? Because all those tools have limitations that Ant's
apache-ant: original author couldn't live with when developing software across
apache-ant: multiple platforms.
