Great question btw! Ant is xml-based target driven build environment each task(s) corresponds to a particular piece of build functionality such as jsp-compile,compile,jar,war or ear which must be completed in order so that the web-application (war) or application enterprise app (ear) can deploy Currently ant has no capability (and just as soon as I say this someone could release a new jar with these functions) to define repositories (offline/online) no ability to interface to 'the build system' thru a predefined plugin interface The biggest challenge i found with ant is no ability to handle version specific build environment configurations e.g. fu.jar needs to be 1.0 bar.jar needs to be 1.1 fubar.jar needs fu.jar (1.0 version) and bar.jar (1.1 version) to work properly..
