I also believe in the importance of build systems! :) My company's current project (medium size, about 32,000 lines of code) uses a handwritten Ant build system. We do, however, use the Maven Ant tasks to manage our project's external dependencies. In addition to using Ant in our builds, we also use it for most of our deployment tasks. We develop on Windows (eclipse) and Linux (command-line and emacs), and the build system accommodates this.
>From our build files, we: 1.) Call the GWT compiler directly. 2.) Massage the output to fit our deployment needs. 3.) Run jetty 4.) Run GWT hosted mode (with --noserver, which then interacts with the jetty instance from step 3). In general, I'm pretty happy with the build system. It is flexible enough for our needs, and is smart enough to build only what it needs to. It is, however, a large portion of our code base (about 4,000 lines of Ant XML, which is over 10% of the code base).
