Apache Ant is a Java-based build automation tool that uses XML files to define build processes such as compiling code, packaging applications, and running tests. It was widely used in Java software projects before being largely supplanted by tools like Maven and Gradle. Developers maintaining legacy Java systems may still need familiarity with Ant build scripts.
