They all do full builds, hence the long build times. Sorry, but I strongly doubt anyone using Ant or Maven is doing an “incremental build” with it.

By incremental builds we mean builds done in development for the developer to see results and not clean full builds. You're splitting hairs by saying that the true incremental builds are Eclipse JDT delta compilations vs ant/maven javac incremental builds. Invoke ant on a source tree, change one file and reinvoke. Only one new file will be compiled (unless the referenced .class files also need compilation). Ant is said to break the the "incremental" (or the IDE) compiler because once you use command line compilation + IDE compilation you get into trouble. JDT and javac compile enums for example differently, anonymous inner classes can have different numbering scheme, compilation errors can be compiled into runtime exceptions vs not compiling at all. This is the sad story of using 2 compilers and one output path. You run into problems. We don't advocate any specific build tool. We like the shortest turnaround possible and the best tools for the specific job. For this survey we tried to cover as many tools as possible. @what_are_you_saying
