ANT is a platform-independent tool that is used by developers to build applications. It is developed and maintained by the The Jakarta Project at Apache. For more information visit http://jakarta.apache.org/ant/index.

WSO2 SOA Enablement Server comes with a set of ANT task classes that let you call WSO2 SOA Enablement Server tools directly from ANT build scripts. This functionality opens up the use of powerful WSO2 SOA Enablement Server tools in building Web services and applications. Generic examples of how to do this can be found in the WASP_HOME/src/example/tools/ant directory. Specific examples can be found in the WSO2 SOA Enablement Server demos.

	Note
	You can find usage examples of ANT tasks in WASP_HOME/src/example/tools/ant and in the build.xml files in Demos.

ANT integration is included in the Core-Tools component (see Components chapter).
