web applications - When would I use ant for Java web development? -


i not understand purpose of ant. read introduction, missing big picture. know following (or @ least want use them),

java jdbc hibernate jsp servlet container tomcat

but don't see how ant fits in.

is there comprehensive tutorial tells me how put together?

why want ant? alternative if don't have ant?

edit: sort of compiling part of visual studio counterpart?

ant used build system. not have use it--in fact there quite few better systems since ant 1 of first it's still common. used compile java files, create wars , put .war files onto tomcats.

maven bigger , tries lot more, it's rather strict in it's format , quite heavy--but it's quite common these days well. maven can gather dependencies automatically nice, ant still have download yourself.

there others, idea.

response comment:

i don't use visual studio, think more limited. instance, eclipse can build java files jar or execute them directly (in fact, uses ant internally). if wanted take visual stuido "build configuration" , put tool (perhaps automated build system jenkins) doesn't rely on visual studio directly, can so?

i guess ant way code our builds--it's portable betweeen many tools. visual studio cleaner "create" build, "exporting" ability build more difficult (if possible).

also ant portable across operating systems tools. can switch eclipse netbeans intellij without touching our build toolchain.

how remove visual studio , replace slickedit, emacs or vi (if thing, i'm sure it's not) without starting on scratch build?
