Ant Platform

Apache Ant is a Java-based build tool. In theory, it is kind of like make, without make's wrinkles. For easy data analysis processing automation without a graphical user interface all of Nimues functionality is interfaced in the form of ant tasks and types. This allows arbitrary complex processing automation, described with a simple single ant build xml file. Of course, also all of core functionality of Apache Ant is available and a Java developer can easy extend the system with his own tasks and types.
