Where's Hatcher to plug ant? :-)

For us, ant has worked well and pretty much stayed out of the way  
(like a build tool should).
Additionally, because of the widespread use, almost every tool has an  
ant task (e.g. sablecc).
It looks like there are several scripting tasks now available for the  
rare cases where normal

usage doesn't work.

These days I mostly am dealing with Rake, but thus far at a Ruby  
newbie user level.  I will be getting fancier with Rake very shortly  
though.


Where do I stand with Maven?  Never even really used it other than to  
build early Maven1 stuff, and didn't like it then.  I hear its gotten  
a lot better, and I'd certainly recommend new projects that have  
straightforward needs give it a try.


As for an older project now not building - that's scary.  Setting up  
a local repo with locked in stable and tested dependencies is a must  
for any decent sized project.


I also hear good things about Ivy, though not tried it myself.
