ANT source files should begin with the xml directive <?xml version="1.0"?>, followed by the project standard copyright notice:

As a special exception, the copyright holders of this library give you permission to link this library with independent modules to produce an executable, regardless of the license terms of these independent modules, and to copy and distribute the resulting executable under terms of your choice, provided that you also meet, for each linked independent module, the terms and conditions of the license of that module. An independent module is a module which is not derived from or based on this library. If you modify this library, you may extend this exception to your version of the library, but you are not obligated to do so. If you do not wish to do so, delete this exception statement from your version. -->
Always use lowercase names.
Use hyphens to compose target names, dots to compose property names and finally underscores to compose idref names. For example:
<target name="amoun-ra">... <target ... if="install.dir">... <patternset id="toplevel_files">...
Do not use tabs. Always use spaces. Three spaces should be used as the unit of indentation.
Avoid lines longer than 100 characters, since they're not handled well by many terminals and tools.
When an ANT xml element will not fit on a single line, break it on an attribute basis and align all attribute names. For example:
<javac destdir="classes" debug="${debug}" optimize="${optimize}" srcdir="src" includes="gnu/crypto/**/*.java"/>
Target group comments help separate visually blocks of related targets. Use the following before each group:
<!-- Minimal tests to pass before release ....................................... --> <target ... />
Refer to the project's build.xml
as an example of these recommendations.
