We've discussed this before. It is much simpler to have no scripts,
and as a developer installing Ant shouldn't be a barrier. Most projects
at Jakarta are moving away from build scripts and requiring an Ant install.
I once too liked having scripts but it proved to be a hassle and
I have found having Ant installed to be much more convenient when
dealing with a large number of projects.
