Rule #1: Do not do a direct port of 1 make file = 1 ant file.  This is not a 
good use of ant.

Look at your entire project and split up it up into logical goupings. Usually 
per artifact is as fine as you want to go.  So for each jar you produce, you 
will have a "project" with one ant file for that particular artifact.

If you only produce a few artifacts during your build, you may only have 1 ant 
file for your entire project.  This is typical for standard J2EE applications 
where you may generate a few EJB's (or not), some webapp classes, a war, and 
an ear.

Somewhere between 1 ant file and 1 ant file per artifact is where you should 
end up.

Good luck.

Eric
