Ant has a bunch of so-called “optional” tasks which depend on various 3rd-party libraries, but which aren’t necessary for the core tasks. The
nodepspackage will contain just Ant itself, whereas the full package will contain Ant as well as the 3rd party libraries necessary to run the optional tasks.
