Users have made several recommendations based on their experiences with Apache Ant. They suggest considering a more convention-based tool, such as Maven, Grunt, or Gulp, if Apache Ant is not applicable to other programming languages. Users also recommend updating Apache Ant to use Maven repositories and enable scripting in JavaScript or Groovy, which could make it a leading build tool again. Additionally, users emphasize that Apache Ant is well-suited for complex build processes and offers complete control over the build process when needed.

We have used Apache Ant as a deployment tool for out stake. We have created our complete java project for application using Apache Ant, and it's command line utility helps us to drive the process in easy way. Mainly we are using for developing java based application using Apache Ant.
  • Support non java application development as well
  • Flexible
  • XML scripting
  • Support any platform
  • Better lifecycle management can be done
  • So much configuration details needs to provide
  • Order of the flow needs to define in advance
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.
  • Easy executable creation
  • Java based application
  • Integration with other IDE
  • Overall positive impact
  • Speed up the development process
  • Easy deployment process
Compare to other tools like Eclipse or Jenkins, Apache Ant is really easy to use tool. and It is very flexible tool which can be learn in couple of days time. And Apache ant help to write the custom java based hooks which enable more capabilities and features in the application.
