Hi, Generally, I only use Eclipse. If there are serveral developers or many moduels , Ant and CruiseControl can be considered. I only think we don't consider Maven first in a small project. Of course, I must say that I don't recognize Maven several days before. I may be confused by Maven's "complex" mechanism, Ant can be used more freely :) My words are from a newbie's eyes. I'm learning the tool and its soul, and will use it in a real project.

I totally disagree with you, Sha! From my experience, even small projects, with just a few dependencies, benefit from using maven. What are your alternatives? Can any other build system match maven's ability to produce: - a project layout - eclipse project - easy continuous integration - javadoc etc etc.....
