In fact I feel as a Maven evangelist. There is a thing that I like of Maven most: "Check out as Maven project" of m2eclipse. In one shot I have all the projects under my workspace, without any library problem, every single time. > I know many projects that have move from Ant to > Maven and are now either switched back or gone to > some other solution like Gradle or are in the > active process of seeking the alternative. > Moving from Ant to Maven is not an easy path, since there is the need of a great reorganization. I already did it for a few work projects, and one project at Apache. If someone does not know the phylosophy of Maven, it's better not to try Mavenizing it, because usually the project structure under a specific build script with Ant is so spaghettified that it needs to be sorted out. > I won't support such a transition at this moment. > No problem for you, it's my problem. I see it as an exercise. Antonio
