Buildr is Rake underneath, we started with Rake to handle all the task and
dependency management, works very well and no point re-inventing the wheel.
But using just Rake leads to a lot of boilerplate code. Feeding classpath
dependencie to javac, downloading and installing artifacts, running JUnit
and producing test reports, packaging JARs and WARs, etc.
Instead you get a high level abstraction based on projects, pre-configured
tasks (like compile, test, package), and ad hoc tasks. So Buildr takes care
of all the detail work that's identical across projects, and also adds a
large library of easy to use tasks.
