This document summarizes and compares several Java build tools: Ant, Ivy, Maven, and Gradle. It provides an overview of each tool, including descriptions, websites, and basic usage. It also includes a comparison chart that rates each tool on criteria like learning difficulty, maintenance, speed, and stability. The conclusion is that while Ant will remain, Maven 2 is transitioning to Maven 3, and Gradle may be the future, none have obvious advantages over the others.

Ant is a Java library and command-line tool. Ant's mission is to drive processes described in build files as targets and extension points dependent upon each other. The main known usage of Ant is the build of Java applications. Ant supplies a number of built-in tasks allowing to compile, assemble, test and run Java applications. Ant can also be used effectively to build non Java applications, for instance C or C++ applications. More generally, Ant can be used to pilot any type of process which can be described in terms of targets and tasks.
Ant is written in Java. Users of Ant can develop their own "antlibs" containing Ant tasks and types, and are offered a large number of ready-made commercial or open-source "antlibs".
Ant is extremely flexible and does not impose coding conventions or directory layouts to the Java projects which adopt it as a build tool.
Software development projects looking for a solution combining build tool and dependency management can use Ant in combination with Ivy.
"Groovy Maven Builds" presentation from Gr8Conf, Copenhagen (May 19, 2011)
It shows how Maven builds become more dynamic when Groovy power and flexibility is applied.
SkillPractical has Spring learning path that helps the user to learn the Java from scratch. If user have any questions on Java Spring while attempting tests, he can post a question in SkillPractical community. They will get an answer from our expert consultants.

Spring Boot is an open-source Java-based framework. Spring Boot is a utility for setting up an application quickly by automating the configuration procedures and speed up the process of building and deploying Spring Boot applications. It is easy to create production-ready applications using Spring Boot through embedded server(tomcat).
Integration Testing on Steroids: Run Your Tests on the Real ThingsAtlassian
At AtlasCamp 2018, Jon Mort and Mark Gibson from Adaptavist gave a presentation about how they brought Arquillian into the Atlassian SDK.
In this talk, Jörg Brandstätt from Resolution will help you to put their learnings into practice and take your tests to the next level. He will also share how Resolution is using this approach to test some of the Top 30 Server & Data Center apps.
The session covers how you can run your test code on remote Server and Data Center instances with different databases ad-hoc from within your IDE and during the build process, and provide detailed information about how to set up Maven to execute your tests within your Bitbucket build pipelines.
Why you should embrace Gradle and ditch MavenGijsLeussink
Abstract: Still using Maven as a build tool in your projects? If so, are you using it because you think it is a great tool, or just because you’ve always done it this way? Within 15 minutes we’ll share with you the reasons that made us ditch Maven and fall in love with our build tool again. Be aware though, after you’ve visited this quickie there is a big chance you’ll find yourself migrating all your projects tonight. Luckily, this is easier than you might think.
Talk (quickie) of 15 minutes on 8th November 2018 at J-Fall 2018, the annual Dutch Java User Group (NLJUG) conference.
Keeping up with Java made easy with Apache Maven (Devoxx 2018)Robert Scholte
This session shows that Apache Maven and their plugins work well on all Java versions, even on the early access releases. The critical parts are related to bytecode parsing and this session explains why and how to solve this.

D. Andreadis, Red Hat: Concepts and technical overview of QuarkusUni Systems S.M.S.A.
Dimitris Andreadis, Director of Engineering and Manager of the Quarkus Team at Red Hat, discusses the History, Concepts and Technical Overview of Quarkus framework. The webinar was delivered on June 25, 2020
This talk is an introduction about technical aspects of how payment cards function, what technical protocols are involved and what are implementation complexities in a typical payments project. You will learn about concepts like Authorisation and Clearing, Tokenization and know about novelties in the payment world, which will affect consumers in the nearest future.
Как построить свой фреймворк для автотестов?Dmitry Buzdin
Мы пройдемся по всем основным блокам построения тестового фреймворка и тому, как они связаны между собой. Вы научитесь собирать свое решение по автоматизации из библиотек с открытым кодом и делать так, чтобы они дополняли друг друга.
Microservices created quite a buzz in software development. Those are finally being adopted, and a lot of project suffer from that... microservices bring a lot of infrastructure and distributed programming complexity not all organisations can cope with. Question is – is it possible to gradually migrate to microservices architecture without Big Bang/Rewrite From Scratch approach? I would say it is possible, and is a much better idea compared to installing Kubernetes on AWS on day one. This talk is based on practical experience of architecting business applications to scale out and grow up to become micro services one day.
How to Build Your Own Test Automation Framework?Dmitry Buzdin
Even though there are plenty of open source tools on the market every company needs to put them together and create a test automation framework on top. Best practices of doing that are quite well-known in industry and it is important to learn them before building your own framework. We will go through the core building blocks of test automation frameworks and how they are playing together. You will learn how to assemble your test automation toolchain out of open source libraries and how to integrate them together. The session will be heavily biased towards Java platform.
