# Apache Ant™ Libraries - The Sandbox

### Apache Ant Libraries - The Sandbox

The sandbox is the place where new Apache Ant Libraries start their life, it is a playground for Ant committers and other contributors who find committers to sponsor their ideas.

The sandbox is no dumping ground. If a Sandbox Ant Library fails to attract interest within a reasonable amount of time, it gets removed from the sandbox.

### Current Sandbox Ant Libraries

#### GenDoc - Generate the manual for Ant Tasks from their sources

Most of the information needed for writing the manual is inside the sources: attributes, nested elements (especially inherited one). GenDoc collects these information and generates the manual as xml page. Following steps transform this xml into the final format (HTML in the first step, PDF may follow).
