After taking the plunge and jumping into using Apache Ant to build my current project I can say that I highly recommend it to anyone who works in a team environment.

The advantage is that you can configure exactly how you would like your application to compile, build and deploy and share this same configuration with fellow colleagues.

The only configuration for other team members would be to set the path to their Flex 3 SDK directory.

To get started here is a tutorial worth reading.

When you have a moment I encourage you to give a sample project a test run compiling with Ant, and as a challenge see if you can set it up to email you if there were any build errors.

While you getting into it why not read through some Ant best practices.
