Ant offers a robust and adaptable method for compiling source code, packaging binaries, generating documentation, and automating various repetitive tasks associated with software development. The tool employs XML-based build files, typically referred to as `build.xml`, to outline the build process. These files delineate the targets (goals) and tasks (actions) that must be performed, such as code compilation, file copying, or JAR creation. Ant’s task-oriented methodology enables developers to articulate intricate build workflows in a manner that is both clear and easy to maintain.
