Ant is a build system primarily designed for Java builds while Make is
primarily designed for C/C++ builds.
Are you doing a Java build, but for some reason, it was originally written
in Make? Then, I can understand why you want to change. But you are probably
better off writing the build from scratch instead of trying to convert over
the Makefiles to build.xml files.
If the build is for C/C++, you should really keep using Make and forget
about using Ant.
