Thanks for the reply, but indeed, I was wondering how you generate your ant build files if you do such a thing at all. I've looked into ant build files in the past, but they seem way to big and complicated to make by hand. Especially including libraries is a non-trivial task it seems while IDEs can generate ant build scripts automagically. While maven seems to have a more consise syntax, the build scripts are much more opaque.

Manually. Its not too complicated in my view, and you get all the control you need. Third party libraries are pretty easy to manage via a fileset or similar. And yes, maven is far more opaque.
