That's just a convention. Windows will look for [foo].bat (among other 
things) if you don't use a file-extension on the command-line, but UNIX 
shells will not. Naming the script (simply) "ant" means you don't have 
to type "ant.sh" every time, just "ant".

FWIW, Martin Grigorov regularly reports on [email protected] that the JDK 
early-access builds (latest: JDK 18) are running Tomcat's build and 
test-suite on aarch64, which I believe is the JVM type Apple's M1 chips 
would run natively.
