Ant or Subant question

Hello everybody!

I am trying to focus on the <subant> advantages. Can anyone explain me
in-depth why the <subant> task is better than the <ant> task. I know it was
introduced in Ant 1.6 to ease the usage of other build fuiles. I have also
read the manual, but I didn' t actually find any major differences(or am I
wrong?) .
Thanks for anyone who replies!

Regards, Petar!

You can provide a fileset to subant and it will basically run <ant> 
against every file in the fileset.
