= Motivation =
Considering Ant build files as code which has to be maintained, it should be documented like other code as well.

= Visual Documentation =

== Grand ==
Grand is a tool to create visual representation of ant target dependencies. It works by taking a ant build file and creating a "dot" file. This file need to be post-processed with Graphviz  to produce the actual graph.

 * http://www.graphviz.org/

== Vizant ==
Vizant is an Apache Ant task to create Graphviz DOT source code from an Ant buildfile. The image created from the DOT source code shows the targets dependency.
