to create default Java tool template project as ant based
Um - no.
Xcode isn't the only game in town for Java development. Java developers use a variety of tools, and the Java community has collectively settled on ant as the "rosetta stone" that allows all of those different tools to work together. Since they all can use ant as the "under the hood" build tool, it doesn't matter if you're using Xcode, someone else is using Eclipse on Linux, and a third team member is using NetBeans on Windows.
that means that people who are new to Xcode or
Java or both must know something that is not necessary for the beginning
and it has nothing to do with Java as a language per se
Ant *is* necessary for a Java developer. It's not part of the language, but it *is* part of the overall environment.
ant it's just a tool for building applications and as such is
something secondary.
It's not "just a tool," it's the standard tool for building Java applications.
that ant just unnecessary "scares" newbies that's all
With all due respect, why do you believe a "newbie" is better qualified to make this decision than the experienced programmers at Apple?
