Hi all,

Any plan or roadmap to move away from the custom ANT build.xml in favor of
Maven (mavenization)?

using maven would lower the barrier to maintain apache poi build,
standardize the structure, ease build, ease reporting

I could help there if  there is a demand, there are some challenges through:

- developer getting use too the new structure (it would be simpler to
understand and maintain) but nothing that a good documentation can not
solve.
- moving file around without losing history (an experience that is always
painful in svn)
- change in jenkins but other Apache project use also Maven so not a big
deal,
- to be continued...

Thanks for your feedback
Cédric Walter
