Better than Make!

Did I fool you?
Writing huge XML files to represent complex sequences of tasks is slightly more enjoyable than root canal. It must be said that most large projects end up with some type of build script and Ant fills this need, but the real gem of my advice is to try to reject it as long as possible.
