Anyone in the Java world still using Ant is just so last decade ;-)

Maven attempts to be wholly declarative and succeeds in that all the
hard work is done via plugins coded in Java or Groovy code.

Gradle makes no pretence as being either declarative or iterative, but
embraces both. As much of a specification is as declarative as possible,
but where imperative is needed it is available as Gradle specifications
are Groovy scripts with the Gradle internal DSL.
