## Package org.netbeans.api.project.ant Description

Ways of getting information about Ant-based projects useful from other projects.

An `AntArtifact` is a representation of a build product created from a (somehow Ant-based) project. Rather than relying on details of how another project arranges its builds, a parent project can use `AntArtifactQuery` to find Ant artifacts from another project (or, perhaps, arbitrary source not formally contained in a project). Using artifact information it is possible to tell what build product (file or directory) will be created and what general sort it is (e.g. JAR vs. Javadoc); which Ant script and target to run to create that build product; and how to request that it be cleaned. This information suffices to create an Ant build script in the parent project that can run sub-builds.
