Ant is a Java based build tool. In theory it is kind of like "make" without make's wrinkles and with the full portability of pure java code. Ant uses XML to specify build actions to be taken, and new build actions are implemented in Java. This is the last version of apache-ant that supports Java 1.1
Binary packages can be installed with the high-level tool pkgin (which can be installed with pkg_add) or pkg_add(1) (installed by default). The NetBSD packages collection is also designed to permit easy installation from source.
The pkg_admin audit command locates any installed package which has been mentioned in security advisories as having vulnerabilities.
Please note the vulnerabilities database might not be fully accurate, and not every bug is exploitable with every configuration.
