<div class="alert alert-warning" markdown="1">
When this article was originally written `ament_tools` was the ROS 2 specific build tool.
The reason was that it needed to be side-by-side installable with existing ROS 1 packages which was a problem due to different targeted Python versions.
In the meantime the problem due to different Python versions has been addressed in shared dependencies like `catkin_pkg`.
As of ROS 2 Bouncy `ament_tools` has been superseded by `colcon` as described in the [universal build tool](http://design.ros2.org/articles/build_tool.html) article.
