I've been digging through the tutorials on Programming and Running Android apps at Running Your App | Android Developers.

I often see a reference to some sort of executable named 'ant'. But there is no file named 'ant' in the entire directory tree where I installed my Android SDK (I'm on a Linux machine).

What is 'ant', do I need it, and how can I get it, or is there a newer replacement?

UPDATE: Never mind, I figured it out. 'ant' is the Java build tool. which isn't automatically installed Eclipse, the Android SDK, or even the openjdk tools on Linux.
