Here’s the README: README You’ll probably have to CVS to Jakarta to grab it. I’m not sure if there are binaries available anywhere. Also, NetBeans (http://www.netbeans.org) has a fairly slick UI for editing, and of course launching, build.xml files (except it really bugs me that it alphabetizes the XML attributes – I want ‘name’ to be the first attribute, not ‘depends’ on target elements!). jEdit has AntFarm – a very nice front-end to Ant, not to mention its the coolest editor ever.
