I just started working at a company that has a very large ant build file that imports lots of other large/small ant files.  Needless to say it's giving me a headache trying to figure out what is going on.What are the best tools out there for: Getting some kind of concise answer on what is happeningVisualizing the various targetsSeeing performance on tasksCan be multiple tools.  Any other tips/suggestions?
What are the best tools to help work with large ant files

Klfox,If you are using Eclipse, it has a pretty good XML plugin that provides a view for looking at tasks. Netbeans also has a plugin, but I've only worked with the Eclipse plugin.If you are looking at how long a particular task tasks, the Ant output will tell you how long it had taken to run. You can also use the verbose flag for more detailed output: ant -verbose or ant-vFor visualizing the Ant tasks in the form of a diagram, take a look at this:yed. It's got a filter for ant tasks.I'd suggest taking a look at: ant projects as that gives a pretty good list of related projects you can use with Ant.
