The following tools are often used for automatic building of Java projects:

Maven — a popular project management and build tool that uses a pom.xml file to describe dependencies and build steps.
Gradle — a modern and flexible build tool that uses scripts in Groovy or Kotlin DSL, making it easy to configure the build process.
Ant — an older tool based on XML configurations, offering flexible control but requiring more manual setup.

Example of using Maven to build a project:

<project>
  <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
  <groupId>com.example</groupId>
  <artifactId>my-app</artifactId>
  <version>1.0</version>
  <dependencies>
    <!-- project dependencies -->
  </dependencies>
</project>

The command mvn clean install will automatically download dependencies, compile the code, and build the artifact.
