An alternative build tool, Ant, is based on cutting-edge technology. Compared
to the native GNU Make, Ant is based on Java™ technology, which

I may have been misled, but I thought Ant was replaced by a non-deterministic

Please say were going to use the extension that predict build failures before
they occur and provides an automated root cause analysis. I believe is called
Ant predictive recursive interpreter language with Forensic object oriented

I'm personally willing to provide a ANT to MAVEN conversion tool which will
allow for a more verbose an rdable build system. It will also ensure that
dependencies are always downloaded at all times ensuring network pipes are

+1 to Martijn's gesture to a conversion tool, I'm personally driven to
explore these:
- Gradle
- Maven and its derivatives are a good option too
