It isn't easy to answer this question. There are several  projects using Ant. Should you run away from Ant just because there is a new cool tool out there called Gant? Should you switch to Gant just because you dislike XML? Not at all. Let's take a closer look and see what might make you switch to Gant.When to... http://groovy.dzone.com/articles/ant-or-gant-part-1#comments ant build gant groovy scripting XML http://groovy.dzone.com/crss/node/5147 Tue, 23 Sep 2008 05:51:22 -0400 7325 33 meera http://groovy.dzone.com/sites/all/files/avatars/picture-8.jpg Tue, 23 Sep 2008 05:51:22 -0400 meera 5147 at http://groovy.dzone.com http://groovy.dzone.com/articles/is-easyb-easy I was introduced to easyb by none other than the creator of easyb: Andrew Glover.

Sometimes this is a separate "audit log" table where all inserts, updates, deletes, and possibly even queries are logged.
