What is it? ----------- NAnt is a .NET based build tool. In theory it is kind of like make without make's wrinkles. In practice it's a lot like Ant. If you are not familiar with Jakarta Ant you can get more information at the Ant project web site (http://ant.apache.org/). Why NAnt? --------- Because Ant was too Java specific. Because Ant needed the Java runtime. NAnt only needs the .NET or Mono runtime. WWW: http://nant.sourceforge.net/
