But with the idea that more languages will follow. I'd really prefer that the C or Python or Ruby coders that hopefully will show up won't be turned off by the need to learn a lot of java specific technology to do something as simple as update a web page.
And all of which seem to assume that you totally live and breath with > maven, which I personally don't like. No, not at all. You can spend your time writing the Ant XML to invoke Checkstyle, PMD, FindBugs et al if you like. But by using Maven, you can free up your time to work on code or documentation, rather than on the build system. And if you don't want to use Maven to build either, you can have it generate an Ant build, or the appropriate files for whatever IDE you happen to like. That enables other people to contribute more easily, too, since they can use the tools most familiar to them.
I remain unconvinced. A simple ant buildfile and HTML website seems totally sufficient to me. -garrett
