Apache Ant is suitable for the scenarios where central repository is not required for your developed application and It has a great architecture with less complexity and the situation where automated configuration is needed then Apache Ant is not suitable for that use case. Apache Ant is easy to use tool.

  • UI could be more responsive. Its bit hassle to create a UI which would fit mobile devices.
  • If there are multiple UI blocks it gets cumbersome to adjust their size and appearance as you have to do it one by one.
