Flaka is an extension for Ant. A main project goal of Flaka is the
simplification of writing a build script.

Flaka provides:
1. an expression language (Java Unified Expression Language)
2. well known programming elements (for, when, switch, choose, ..)
3. exception handling
4. additional types, tasks and macros

A small teaser script to demonstrate some of those features:

<project xmlns:c="antlib:it.haefelinger.flaka" name="Flaka" >
  <c:logo>
    Hello #{ project.name ? project.name : ''}!
  </c:logo>
  <c:for var=" f " in=" ''.tofile.list ">
    <c:when test=" f.isfile ">
      <c:echo>
        ;; report basename and modification time
        file #{f.name} last modified: #{ f.mtime }
      </c:echo>
    </c:when>
  </c:for>
</project>
