Daniel,
The difference if that with Ant you write an Assembler-like program: you
can do a lot, but maintainability is like current economy - very low.
And here you always have to write what to do and how to do it, like for
<javac/> you have to tell it where the sources are, where the output
should go.
With Maven - you write a SQL statement: you don't tell it how to do
things, just say what needs to be done, and maven will figure out the
way to do it. If you compile java classes - you don't even have to
mention the compiler - Maven defalts will take care of that.
For examples - you can check the book: http://www.sonatype.com/book
I think that if there is more that one person working on a project - Ant
is a dead end for a build system.
Overall - please ask these kind of questions on the user list, this one
is mainly for developing maven itself.

is an objected oriented language.
Is that true? Could anyone explain it to me a little bit? It would be
great if you can show me some small examples to let me understand what is
the difference between them.
thanks a lot for your help
Daniel
