[Java-gnome-developer] Ant v Makefile

[ACJT <ac...@on...>]

This might seem like a dumb question, but I'm not a C expert, or an 
expert at building projects in Linux, other than running the commands.
Why does java-gnome not use Ant to do the building, considering it is a 
Java project and Ant is really the standard build tool for Java. I know 
there are C files to compile, is this the reason? You can use gjc from 
ant, as a standard task. There is also a task called 'cc' that can 
compile using gcc for example.

Thanks.
