Declarative (Maven) and Imperative (Ant)

Convention and configuration (Maven) over configuration andscripting (Ant)

 

 

Maven

 Good for Modularization

Dependency management

Not easy for beginner to understand

Bugs and issues are hard to track (understand the conventions)

Sometimes are slow

Ant

 Easy to learn – No so many abstraction
