I found that using one good tool for everything is better than
mixing things.

Also, gnumake can do so many more things than just build source
code. I use it to update my html files and pdf files from
Latex sources, and other such things.

As long as the idea that drives the tool is: Perform this action
to update these prerequisites that this target depends on, then better
to use one tool that does this better and for many other things, not
just .java files.

In my tree, I have .f, .f90, .c, .c++, .java, .tex, and many
other files that I want to 'update' in my tree.

Using one tool for all, is better, because one becomes better
at using this one tool, and things are integrated better.
gnumake+bash is pretty much all what I need.

I tried ant, and found that I am doing the same thing I
am already doing in my Makefile, just had to use different
syntax. (I also did not like XML syntax). Also looked at Ruby
script, and few other things. They all pretty much try to do
what Make allready does but using different syntax.

It is very easy to use gnumake to build Java and  make jar files and
all. Here is a link showing Makefile for Java from the best book
on gnumake "Managing Projects with GNU make" by Robert Mecklenburg

http://www.makelinux.net/make3/make3-CHP-9#make3-CHP-9

Chapter 9 is all about using make for build Java.

As others said. If you are using an IDE with its own build
system. It is better to have your own makefile to build
your tree, independent of what the IDE has. This way, if
you changed IDE, or move your tree somewhere else where
this IDE is not available, you can still build your tree
any where.
