Now this is not the reference to the movie with the same name. However, I liked the movie and empathized with the adolescent kid in it. For those interested, redirect yourself here ANTS_IN_THE_PANTS.
This is related to a far more removed topic of the practice of using “ant” to compile the source code of a program in place of using make. I am not sure why even people bother with ant as a compilation tool. The only argument for it is that it is universally available and one gets to write the targets file in XML.
For the last 10 or so hours I am killing myself with fixing an ant build.xml file just to support a new path of generating the compiled Java classes.
