Apache Ant is the most popular Java build tool. It allows you to specify a number of tasks to be executed in building complex Java projects in a build script and executing the same. Ant build scripts are written in XML. Ant has a powerful set of prebuilt tasks to manage files and folders, interact with version controlling systems, compile source code, execute unit tests, compress the content, upload, download resources, deploy the code and so on.
