ant is pretty standardized around Java stuff - it has standard tasks for
a lot of things. Frankly though, I'm not terribly impressed - all that
XML seems to just get in my way, and of course, it is much slower than make.
I guess the advantage of ant is that all you need is java to make it
run,whereas if other people need to rebuild your code, perhaps they
won't have 'make' installed...
