Difference Between Gradle and Ant in Java?

Question

I was trying to develop an NDK application with gradle and that caused some errors. So, I changed to gradle-experimental. Now it works, but other functionalities are not working now. What should I do?

Answer 1

Apache Ant (“Another Neat Tool”) is a Java library used for automating build processes for Java applications. Additionally, Ant can be used for building non-Java applications.
Gradle is a dependency management and a build automation tool which was built upon the concepts of Ant and Maven.
One of the first things we can note about Gradle is that it’s not using XML files, unlike Ant or Maven.
