    Well, not exactly. :-) I have the 2003 edition of Java Development
    with Ant published by Manning. It is large and thorough but a lot of
    it is dedicated to J2EE and other stuff not directly related to WO.
    It is, at least, an adequate book on Ant. I got me where I needed to
    go and I still refer back to it.

    I can imagine a better book, perhaps someone can recommend a better one?
