Question

What is the difference between Ant and Maven in Selenium?

Answer 1

We will understand each one firstly we will have a look at Ant and Maven:- 

Ant:-

• Ant does not have formal conventions, so we need to provide information about the project structure in build.xml file.

• Ant is procedural; you need to give proper information about what to do and when to do through code.

• There is no life cycle in Ant.

• Ant is a toolbox.

• Ant is a build tool.

• The ant scripts are not reusable.

• Ant is not so preferred than Maven.

Maven:-

• There is a convention in Maven which is maven used compiled code, place source code, etc. It means we do not need to give information related to the project structure in pom.xml file.

• Maven is declarative, everything you define in the pom.xml file.

• There is a life cycle in Maven.

• Maven is a framework.

• Maven is a project management tool.

• The Maven plugins are reusable.

• Maven is more preferred than Ant.
