The way I do it is use a Java program to stomp out ANT scripts.   This
way I have to specify a bare minimum to build a project and I can
change the way every build script works by changing one line of code.

ANT is very quick at compiling because it loads javac only once. It
also has GenJar which figures out by itself what to include in the
Jar.

I can't compare it with Maven. Maven docs did not speak to me in the
terms I wanted to understand what it does before I would invest in the
learning curve.


ANT is preposterously verbose, but at least is its comprehensible.
