[PATCH] Ant Presentation for local Java Users Group

[Erik Hatcher]

Tonight I gave a technical overview of Ant for the local Java Users Group
that is starting to form.

Here it is for all to benefit from (or tear it up because I have no idea
what I'm talking about! :).   A patchfile is attached to add it to the
resources page.  The zip of the presentation and Ant examples are at:

    http://erik.hatcher.net/ant-jug.zip

The zip (built from Ant itself, of course!) contains the PowerPoint
presentation file, but if you just want to see that directly, its available
at:

    http://erik.hatcher.net/ant-jug.ppt

Feel free to critique it and give me feedback if you find any technical
mistakes or have comments on it.

    Erik

p.s. I used the the latest 1.4 beta build and it all worked fine (after
getting the latest version of Xalan).  I also demo'd the Log4J capabilities
using the SocketAppender with Chainsaw (thanks Conor!) available at
http://www.geocities.com/oburn/chainsaw/
