I have three (well, ok, I > co-wrote one of them) different books: the Sam's book, the O'Reilly > one, and the one Steve and I wrote. One will be the German, Ant Kurtz und Gut, I guess. Also, Java tools for Extreme Programming covers Ant (1.3 or 1.4, I forget), along with junit, cactus, and httpunit...not as much on ant as the others, but more on testing (and those bits havent dated much yet). Has a bias towards EJB, which may or may not be your thing :). I also see on Amazon two more books up and coming on the whole open source java toolchain; these will be breadth rather than depth books, I suspect. -Steve --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
