The book covers major new releases of Ant, JUnit, and Cactus, plus important new tools, inlcuding XDoclet, Maven, Anthill, and Eclipse. The book begins with a brief introduction to XP methods. It then jumps right into the tools, providing a brief overview of the uses and features of each tool. Next come tutorials showing best practices for using the tools — the authors show how each tool is used to develop and test the same sample application, based on Sun's well-known Pet Store example. For each tool, the author provides lots of code examples and directions for setting up scripts for automating that development step. «
