Other options:

1.  Use Gant which is Groovy scripting of the Ant tasks.

1.5.  Use the Ant Groovy front-end -- this is a fork of Gant to tie the
front end more specifically to the Ant project model.

3.  Use Gradle.

7.  Use Maven.

The crucial advantage of 1, 1.5 and 3 is that you can write code in the
build script rather than having to build a special plugin.  So you never
have to get into writing plugins -- unless that is actually the right
thing to do.
