      <subsection name="Build Number">
        <p> Build Number is a tool to track software artifacts such as files and automatically assign
        proper version/build numbers to them. It ensures that two different artifacts will have different
        version/build numbers, but identical artifacts/builds will be assigned the same number. It doesn't
        take version management away from you and doesn't replace your build process, but rather plugs
        into the process and introduces version/build number governance by defining who is in charge of
        which part of version number. With Build Number you are still in charge of the head of the version
        number. E.g. you may decide to have 4 numbers in your version (major, minor, interface, implementation)
        and you want to manage the two first numbers (major and minor). Build Number will take care of the
        tedium of managing the last two numbers (interface and implementation). </p>

        homepages: directory structure that contains HTML-s, image
        files, etc. But of course it can be used to generate source
        code or whatever text files. FMPP is extendable with Java
        classes to pull data from any data sources (XML file,

        <subsubsection name="J2ME Polish">
          <p>J2ME Polish is an Ant-based tool for the creation of
          MIDP applications. It covers the whole circle of preprocessing, compiling,
          obfuscation, preverifying, packaging and JAD-creation. J2ME Polish is
          ideal for creating device optimized applications with its powerful
          preprocessing capabilities and the integrated device database.
          With J2ME Polish no hardcoded values are needed and the portability of an
          application is not sacrificed, even though highly optimized applications are
          created from a single source.
          <br/>
          It contains a logging framework and an optional MIDP-compatible GUI
          which can be designed using the web-standard CSS. With the J2ME Polish GUI
          you can even use MIDP/2.0 features on MIDP/1.0 phones.

          and Ruby. It eliminates the need for JSP or ASP and their

          automatically and transparently; no intervention is
          required.</li>

          <li>Fast. Negligible impact on build times. By default,
          skips inputs whose outputs are up to date to avoid
          triggering recompilations.</li>

          JNI is a free toolkit that makes easy work of
          integrating Java and C through the Java Native
          Interface (JNI). It includes a code generator that
          generates both Java "proxy" classes to access C
          "peer" classes, and C "proxy" classes to access
          Java "peer" classes or interfaces. It also
          includes a core library with a simplified JVM
          interface as well as "helper" classes to ease
          working with the JNI data types. The code
          generation is driven by an XML project file that
          can be created with the assistance of the GUI
          Project Manager. The code generation can be
          invoked either from Ant or from the
          GUI. Includes a comprehensive printable PDF User
          Guide and plenty of examples.</p>
