:D

I'm more familiar with Ant and I like it. It's a big improvement if compared with older *make utilities. It has every thing i need to build a project (maybe a little more than i need, but that's fine to have a little margin). I use ant much the way as I use a programming language. It's flexible and extensible and manageable, as long as you use it wisely.

I'm scared of maven because it looks like so obscure in its way of working. On first sight, it is much simpler in its usage. But it is a false lure in my opinion. 

Probably I know maven not so much so my opinion is not fair for maven. But unless maven becomes mandate in the projects I'm working on, I'll stick to ant as long as possible.
