Traditionally, there are two major camps in the world: developers using integrated development environment (IDE), and adhere to edits such as VI and EMACS and use the Make file called from Linux Shell to compile personnel. There is no mistake in two ways (although there is a continuous intense debate); they all have their own advantages.
However, you may have noticed that now there is a third point of view: a mixed solution,: uses IDE for most development work, and uses Ant for the team "formal" compilation. This model is the most common model I see in the development team in Oracle and other companies.
