If you have multiple projects and you want to build them the right order, you can also use ivy (http://incubator.apache.org/ivy/). It's a dependency managment tool having ant tasks to order a list of subproject according to their respective dependencies (http://incubator.apache.org/ivy/doc/use/buildlist.html). It use a metadata XML file to descibes the dependency of every module. Ivy can also use this file to do a lot of other thinks like definind classpaths or fileset, or producing report.
