Ant is surely easier to run and it comes with IDE by default. > But it does not come with library mapping, not because of Ant problems, but because Ant build scripts are always customized. There is no way to create a consistent plugin inside Eclipse for Ant, the only thing that an IDE can do is running Ant targets. > If one wants to convince me in using Maven - I would very like to see > a release of Tomcat taglibs subproject.
