Ant macros offer several advantages over custom tasks, including ease of use, reusability, and maintainability. Macros are simpler to create as they leverage existing Ant tasks, making them more accessible for developers with limited experience in writing custom tasks. Additionally, macros can be reused across multiple build files, promoting consistency and reducing duplication.
Custom tasks, on the other hand, require Java programming knowledge and may involve more complex logic. They are better suited for situations where specific functionality is needed that cannot be achieved using built-in Ant tasks or macros.
