I have adpoted maven for virtualy all my projects. I am a one man show. It made managing things much easier, and it encourages good behaviour. Personally I find the documentation lousy, the community support weak, and the learning curve much steeper than ant, but it's worth every piece of effort. Maven is an awesome tool, and the other things will come with time. I would recomment it for _every_ project. Don't forget, you can build custom targets in maven using ant syntax if you need to, so there is little reason not to switch.
Maven encourages good conventions, and is well thought out. Alex. On 9/5/06, Maria Odea Ching <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
