Okay, but if I would start a project today, there would be better tools? Are those documented in the Erlang documentation or are there any recommendations on which tool I should use?

As one of its maintainers I’m partial to rebar3 (http://www.rebar3.org/)

It’s become near-official for OSS Erlang work and the OTP team has moved the repo under their GitHub organisation (https://github.com/erlang/rebar3)

Erlang.mk tends to be the other option otherwise.
