This to me is the fatal flaw in ant and all tools like it. Ant allows the developer to do whatever they like, and so they do, unnecessarily different to everyone else, and this difference must be debugged, documented and learned, over and over again, wasting countless hours and money. In contrast, Maven represents discipline. To understand maven one first has to understand discipline in software engineering, why there is no value in solving a solved problem in a way that is different but no better than solutions that have gone before. Why the best documentation is simply no documentation at all. Why the gift of a repeatable build is priceless to the person who has to fix a bug under stressful conditions.
