  • 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
  • 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.
