Say Yes to New Adventures

Apache Ant (Another Neat Tool) is an open source project started by Apache Software Foundation. Ant is a Java library and a software tool used for automate software build processes such as compile, run, test and assemble Java application. It is designed and developed by Apache Software Foundation and initially released on 19 July 2000.

• Ant doesn't have formal conventions, so we need to provide information of the  project structure in build.xml file.
• Ant is procedural; you need to provide information about what to do and when to do through code. You need to provide order. 
• There is no life cycle in Ant. 
• It is a tool box. 
• It is mainly a build tool. 
• The ant scripts are not reusable. 
• It is less preferred than Maven.
