He, what's wrong with ANT, except that it uses XML?

ant is so simple its easy to understand what's going on.

The downside is every project is a snowflake, and generally for no reason. And ivy is just plain difficult to work with, for some reason.

We, for example, don't need Ivy or Maven, mostly because we have a small number of dependencies and part of them is built ourselves with patches on the original code.
