From the Back Cover:
You¿ve heard about Extreme Programming. You might have read articles or books describing the XP process, but what next? How do you implement XP principles into an actual Java project? This unique book explains everything you need for XP development, starting with Ant, the popular Java build tool. The authors describe every stage of a real-world project life cycle¿testing, refactoring, versioning, deployment, and more¿with practical examples that you can immediately put to use in your own projects.
Every aspect of an XP project includes unique challenges, and Extreme Programming with Ant works through each step of the process.
- Mitigate risks by creating spike tests with Ant buildfiles
- Add version control and testing with JUnit
- Automate nightly builds and reporting
- Deploy applications dynamically using XDoclet
- Add additional team members after a project is underway
- Write custom Ant components to facilitate deployment
- Adapt an XP process for use by other teams or across an enterprise
Throughout the book, the authors include dozens of ideas for extending Ant with useful custom features such as generating UML diagrams and creating reports and metrics on-the-fly. All code and examples have been built, tested, and deployed using Ant 1.5.3.

Xtremely interesting, By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Extreme Programming with Ant: Building and Deploying Java Applications with JSP, EJB, XSLT, XDoclet, and JUnit (Paperback)
Pros: Nice writing style, clear and not boring, touches not only Ant but quite a few other open-source tools and the Xtreme programming ways... Cons: its vast breath is counterbalanced bylittle depth. Ant 's coverage is appropriate to get you started working with it quickly, and to have you appreciate what this tool can do for you. Forget about being able to work with JUnit or XDoclet just by reading this book. You will barely discover that they exist.. and expect a lot of painful hours spent on the traditionally poor open-source docs. Overall a good buy though. If you want a more in-depth treatment of Ant I recommend Java Development With Ant by Erik Hatcher, Steve Loughran

A great book on Ant and on using the XP processes in Java,
This review is from: Extreme Programming with Ant: Building and Deploying Java Applications with JSP, EJB, XSLT, XDoclet, and JUnit (Paperback)
Before I proceed further with the review, I should note that I am the co-author of Java Development with Ant, the book which has been the best selling book about Ant to date. Thus if I were critical of this book, you'd know where I was coming from. But I am not going to be critical -I am going to say nice things about it, and give it 5 stars as anything else would be unfair. This is a really good introduction to Extreme Programming in Java using Ant, Junit and XDoclet. After a quick intro to the concepts of XP, this book follows the story of a team that is using the XP methodology to get stuff out the door. First Ant is introduced, the JUnit -the latter being the key to test-centric development. Then as the chapters progress, the new problems are introduced and the code and the build process refactored and expanded to adapt. I particularly like the chapter where a business merger forces a team reorganisation -organisation change does effect projects, but most software... Read more

Good book but no CD or download of example, By Dev el Oper (Newton, MA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Extreme Programming with Ant: Building and Deploying Java Applications with JSP, EJB, XSLT, XDoclet, and JUnit (Paperback)
Good book but no CD and can't find example buildfile online at samspublishing.com. Page 4 and Appendix D both say you should be able to download the examples.
