The key difference lies in
geometry dash ANT’s philosophy compared to Maven or Gradle. ANT is task-based, meaning developers define exactly what steps to perform (e.g., compile, copy, jar). Maven and Gradle, on the other hand, are more convention-driven, with predefined project structures and dependency management built-in. While ANT gives developers maximum control and flexibility, it requires more manual configuration. Maven and Gradle reduce boilerplate work by managing dependencies automatically, but sometimes at the cost of flexibility. Many organizations still use ANT when they want a lightweight, customizable build system without the complexity of convention-over-configuration.
