What Apache Ant Is Used For?
Apache Ant is a Java-based build automation tool used to compile, test, package, and deploy applications. It is widely used in Java projects to automate and standardize build workflows.
- Automate compilation, unit testing, and artifact generation (JAR, WAR, EAR)
- Orchestrate multi-module and enterprise builds
- Standardize builds across developer machines and CI environments
- Manage custom build and deployment workflows
- Automate non-Java processes using task-based execution
How Apache Ant Works?
Apache Ant executes build logic defined in XML-based build files (typically build.xml). Each build is structured around:
- Targets - Logical build steps
- Tasks - Atomic operations such as compiling code, copying files, running tests, or packaging artifacts
