#What is empty? Welcome - empty is a bunch of tasks for WordPress plugin developers that help automate the build thanks to Apache Ant.
##Why ANT not PHING? Go ask Google that ... there are plenty of conversations elsewhere on ANT vs PHING. It's really a personal choice.
I'm not a Java Developer .. but I'm using Jenkins CI and I also use Mac, Windows & *nix so ANT was preferred
##Why not Grunt.js? Well yes, experimentation is good ... Grunt.js may fit in there somewhere if ANT tasks for minify aren't simple
Have fun!
