 Dear All,
I have  been involved in a web based J2EE project, Which uses applets to get the user inputs. The project follows JSP model 2 architecture. We are also using stateless session bean. Oracle9iAS has been used as the application server, So we are using JDeveloper as IDE.
I have been told that ANT is a build tool and speeds up the development process. Can any one tell me what is the purpose of  a build tool and how can I make use of ANT tool to reduce the development time.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards
Sundar.
