The new, 1.7 version of the Apache Ant Java build automation tool was released Tuesday with a new resource framework. This allows standard Ant functions to understand and deal with .zip files, .tar files, directory structures and other common UNIX items. Also added to version 1.7 is preliminary support for some Java SE 6 functions. Ant is open source and available under the Apache Software License, and can be downloaded at http://ant.apache.org/bindownload.cgi.
