It basically saves you tons of time over the normal course of the
development lifecycle. All of your compilation, packaging, testing,
deployment, and more can be automated with ant.
If you've used makefiles in C, that's the analogy.
You would simply type:
% ant deploy
Which, depending on your script, would probably clean and compile, run
your JUnit tests, package your WAR and EAR files, and deploy them to
your remote or local server, also possibly sending out emails etc when
finished.
Once you start using Ant, you'll wonder how you ever got along with out it.
If you're using Eclipse to automate much of this, consider switching. If
not only for the additional flexibility that Ant gives you, it doesn't
tie you in to any particular IDE.

It's written that I need to install ANT as well.
Is there a way to do it with out ANT
Probably, but why would you want to?
It's scary that you're building struts (or any java project, for that
matter) without Ant.
