Ant's Genie

Welcome

Apache Ant is a Java based build automation tool. Research suggests that the present solutions to Ant IDE integration lack ways in which a developer can create or edit a build file by receiving structured support from a user friendly interface. This work describes the development of a new application: Ant’s Genie. Development techniques used include Extreme Programming as software development methodology, JUnit for testing and Ant for build automation.

Ant’s Genie strives for user friendliness, has refactoring support and has support for Ant best practices. The tool has syntax highlighting and follows consistent style conventions.
