Welcome to Easyant¶

Easyant is a build system, that is based on Apache Ant and Apache Ivy.

Our goals are :

• to leverage popularity and flexibility of Ant.
• to integrate Apache Ivy, such that the build system combines a ready-to-use dependency manager.
• to simplify standard build types, such as building web applications, JARs etc, by providing ready to use builds.
• to provide conventions and guidelines.
• to make plugging-in of fresh functionalities easy as writing simple Ant scripts as Easyant plugins.

To still remain adaptable,

• Though Easyant comes with a lot of conventions, we never lock you in.
• Easyant allows you to easily extend existing modules or create and use your own modules.
• Easyant makes migration from Ant very simple. Your legacy Ant scripts could still be leveraged with Easyant.
