# Apache CyclondeDX Ant Library
-This is an experimental library of Ant tasks providing ways to create
+This is a library of Ant tasks and types providing ways to create
[CycloneDX](https://cyclonedx.org]) SBOMs for Apache Ant built
artifacts.
-This is in an early stage of development and not ready to be used by
-anybody.
+This library provides the basic infrastructure that should be good
+enough to create SBOMs for projects that use manual management of
+dependencies (or don't have any dependencies at all). An extension for
+projects that use Ivy and can reduce the manual work is planned.
+
+The library provides types for licenses, organizations and external
+references that can be reused in multiple components as well a atype
+for components that may be referenced from multiple entries. A task
+allows the creation of CycloneDX SBOMs based on these types in JSON
+and XML format.
+
+The heavy lifting is performed by [CycloneDX Core
+(Java)](https://github.com/CycloneDX/cyclonedx-core-java).
+
+Right now the library is in an early stage of development and the main
+audience is Ant itself. This doesn't mean it couldn't be used for
+other projects and of course we are open to extend it to make things
+easier.
