Praise for the First Edition
======================
Overall, *Java Development with Ant* is an excellent book... It contains a wealth of valuable information and is well-organized and clearly written. —Slashdot.org
If you're using Ant, you need to take a look at this book. —Rick Hightower, co-author of *Java Tools for eXtreme Programming*
This is an indispensable resource on Ant. —Nicholas Lesiecki, co-author of *Java Tools for eXtreme Programming*
Using Ant in Java development is essential for anyone who really wants to master Java applications. I wish I had written a book like this myself. —Stuart Halloway, CTO of DevelopMentor, author of *Component Development for the Java Platform*
Some problems you don't even realize exist until Erik and Steve have already provided the answers. This book not only covers all aspects of Ant but also shares many useful anecdotes that only those who use Ant in production environments would know. —Ted Neward, .NET & Java writer and lecturer
This is a must-read for every Java developer. —Denver Java Users Group
