Is the perception that nobody does Maven EAR's anymore or that nobody uses EARs? I have a web app that has given me no shortage of issuse with ant. I'm trying to move it to Maven. If nobody is using maven then I need to move to something else. If nobody is using EAR's anymore then I'm pretty stuck figuring out this Maven issue.
