The Ant Libraries Subproject
</h3>
<h3>Ant Libraries - or Antlibs for short</h3>
<p>With Ant 1.6.0 and the ant libraries concept creating
libraries of Ant tasks that are easy to get dropped into an
existing Ant installation has become far easier.</p>
<p>The Ant Libraries subproject was started as a place to
develop small libraries of tasks that can get released
independent of Ant's release schedule - which is necessary for
nascent Ant tasks since Ant's own release schedule has become
rather slow over time.</p>
<p>The subproject also offers a sandbox as playground for Ant
committers to try new ideas for tasks.</p>
