IMHO, ANT is a build tool, Maven is a build tool + build process. So for ANT, you will need to write ton of code to make your own build process.

Mick, The benefits of using Maven come not by increasing the speed of work (although eventually that will come too, but not because the tool is faster), but rather by using a uniform project model shared by all your projects and developers. The added value here is having all your developers use the same build and development methodologies - regardless of the project they work on. This is what really increases productivity - the standardization of the development process and the encouragement of proven best practices. For more info, see http://maven.apache.org/what-is-maven.html which is a good starting point for learning the real benefits of using Maven over more low-level tools such as Ant.
