Ant is a Java-based build tool. Instead of a model where it is extended with shell-based commands, ant is extended using Java classes
Instead of writing shell commands, the configuration files are XML-based, calling out a target tree where various tasks get executed.
Installing Ant :
Add the bin directory to your path. Set the ANT_HOME environment variable to the directory where you installed Ant. Assume ant is installed in c:\ant\. The following sets up the environment:
set ANT_HOME=c:\ant
set JAVA_HOME=...
set PATH=%PATH%;%ANT_HOME%\bin
ant buildfiles are written in XML – build.xml. Each buildfile contains one project and at least one (default) target.
Targets contain task elements

<?xml version="1.0"?> <project name="First" default="build" basedir="."> <target name="build" > <javac srcdir="." debug="false" optimize="false" includes="**/*.java" /> </target> </project>
