That being said, more and more projects are using Maven these days so if you are starting from scratch, I think I'd look into Maven as well and make a decision. Certainly if your project will have many dependencies on 3rd-party libraries (like Apache libraries, for instance) and your own code will have it's own dependencies on other projects of yours, consider using Maven because it has everything you need to do dependency resolution, etc. with very little effort on your part. You can think of Maven as a whole bunch of ant scripts already written for you. (IIRC, Maven 1.x was mostly just that: tons and tons of ant scripts to do everything). The new Maven is much more robust, can do many more things, and isn't constrained to ant's more make-like behavior. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk6vCoEACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PDj5ACeOons4hPFPty4u/oXs1ps8/pr S18An0eTL6CSTUhKyVvO5XKzGMiOk9Im =qhI4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
