Why SSB uses Ant?

Is there a reason why the SSB uses Ant for the existing components?
Are there any benefits to using Maven?
Are there any benefits to using Graddle?

Hi @JosePerezDeca

Ant is a Java-based build tool which automates the process of building the IdentityIQ WAR file. This automation is important for ensuring consistency and efficiency across different environments such as production and all other non prod environments.

Ant is highly flexible and doesn’t impose any project structure. This allows developers to define their own build process using XML-based build files.

Graddle is suitable for large scale projects.

I expect “Learning Curve” is the main factor. Ant is easier for people to start with.
