Apache Ant vs. MidVision RapidDeploy

Apache Ant is a Java library and command-line tool whose 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.

RapidDeploy is an enterprise software solution that provides extensive automation of the application release and deployment process. It enables reliable and repeatable application deployments across complex environments, and significantly aids the creation and maintenance of an efficient continuous delivery workflow. RapidDeploy can also enable effective environment management by providing provisioning capabilities, discovery services and in-depth reporting across an entire middleware estate. visit our website at www.midvision.com
