Each project will have it's own Ant build file (at least one).
It is often possible to simply copy an existing file and modify it for a 
different project. Start small, try and get Ant to compile a single 
file, this tells you that all the wiring is correct, then compile a few 
files and package them into a jar file. Work your way up to more and 
more complex builds. Actually I mostly use Ant to package up web 
applications into war files then deploy them to a server. One click 
build and deploy saves an awful lot of time. I generally leave the 
compilation to Eclipse but whatever works for you is fine.

It is possible to configure Ant using properties files
here's a simple tutorial

http://www.tutorialspoint.com/ant/ant_property_files.htm

In this way, you could check a standard build file into source control 
which could then be configured for different build environments by 
creating a local properties file.
