title: best Ant tutorial / quickstart?
body: <p>After having avoided learning ant for far too long (IDEs and copy&amp;paste make it easy for simple tasks) I now see myself forced to get into shape ASAP. Working on a big-ish project, it has become increasingly difficult to know what to copy and where to paste and not to break things along the way. <br><br>
  A search for ant tutorials and quickstarts yields literally thousands of results, so please share your experience - which one gets to the point fast and still is comprehensive? <br><br>I'm secretly hoping for something like the glorious <a href="http://hginit.com" rel="noreferrer">hginit tutorial</a>. Does such a thing exist for ant?<br><br>
  <strong>EDIT</strong> : Looks like a big win for the official docs so far. Makes it quite difficult to pick an answer to accept as they are all so similar. <br>
  I have found a decent tutorial going beyond the basics of the official HelloWorld, featuring JUnit testing, reports and SVN checkouts <a href="http://www.vogella.de/articles/ApacheAnt/article.html" rel="noreferrer">here</a>. But after completing I still have to turn to the docs for more. </p>
