If you want to replace make with Ant completely, I have to admit, it's not up for the job yet because it doesn't support other programming languages than Java very well - there is no builtin support for C/C++ at all so you'd have to encode everything into (Ant 1.2 that is) and tasks and probably end up with something difficult to maintain and slow. I'd recommend using Ant for the Java part of your project though - usually is a lot faster than compiling the files separately and it even works when you encounter circular dependencies - unlike make.
