Ant is more than a cross platform make utility. Ant is platform independent,
which means alot more than cross platform. Ant is a make utility geared to meeet
the needs of Java. Java is "Write once run anywhere" and so is Ant. It is also
specifically made to meet the build requirements of Java code, capable of
anything from creating Jars to Javadocs. Its very easy to learn and its high
modularity makes it very easy to expand.
Ant also goes further than make by adapting to XML for data representation and I
assume there is no need for me to go into the benefits of that :)
