hihi, i would not say ant is an easy-at-first tool to use. you have to install and set it up correctly. then you have to learn ant's syntax and so on. depending on what you want to do, your build script could be done in 5 minutes, or occupy a week's (or more) worth of time to finally get it per

This is also true. Each component make have a better tool to be built with. Even with C/C++ projects the answer is not clear. Some IDEs already provide you a solution, for example, by managing or generating make files. I would not fight the easiest solution, but I do prefer to use ANT in situat

This leaves us make. Make was designed (hacked and mutated? ;-) in a Unix environment for building compiled languages, such as Pascal and C. It is very good at that. So for any project that used a fully compiled language, like C, then I would strongly consider using make. Even with C compila

XML is just a standard way of formatting data. In this case, the lines of data are script commands. You could define this format as a scripting language. Each tool has its own formatting syntax. If you look at Make, it has its own format that has the problem of the first character on a line hav
