But nobody in their right mind would.  You could also use shell scripts to

automate the construction of target directories and the like.  I've seen
that 
done at major Java EE installations.

Why should there be?  javac is a cross-platform compiler, not a
file-system 
manager.  Is there really a requirement that Sun anticipate one's failure
to 
set up one's own environment correctly?

Ant does everything.  If you are trying to automate builds, there is no
better 
choice.
