Hello,

almost all contemporary Ant users :)) know about Grand
tool which is described in [1] and its home page is
[2].

I have used Grand tool several times before, because
it only draws the build graph but it also visualizes
the <subant> and <antcall> usages and thus it allowed
me to identify the <antcall>s and replace them with
<macrodef>s where possible. Grand also can dump the
graph in several contemporary :)) graphical formats
like JPG and PostScript.

Ant manages the target dependencies by using
topological sorting of targets. You can find the idea
of the algorithm at [3].
