Ant can be used for any automation that it is capable of. It can also be extended to do other things that it is not currently capable of. For example, We have a lot of automation that handles documents that we need to import into LiveLink, a document management system. I wrote a custom Ant task to load documents into LiveLink and we are using Ant to do the automation and loads. I prefer Ant over shell scripts for several reasons: they are easy to write, easy to read, platform independent, can be debugged with Eclipse, provide great error handling, easily configurable with property files, and I like the MailLogger.
