Jakarta Ant is definitely making its way into the Java community.

Ant is better than what most Java IDEs offered in the past and 
easier to use than make (because of many predefined targets that
are useful for Java related build tasks) and because it is 
relativly new and compels to the rather younger Java developers
without C/UNIX background, eg its input format is XML based, 
which is buzzwordy but I guess at this point this neither a pro 
or con for it.
