Its suprisingly simple, builds are blazing fast (ant, local

resolution), so practically i would be find with keeping the ant
based
build.
You really "forget" how fast and simple builds can be after years of
maven ;)
Maven support sounds great, Toni!
Loving maven too but not religious about it and when it comes to
faster builds
your are probably right.. although I think the diff is marginal
considering most
is going into code checking and java doc generation anyway.
Compiling the whole codebase at once instead of bundle by bundle makes
a big difference in larger projects.
The simple tweak to support deployment sound nice. Truely mavenizing
this codebase would involve some work and IMHO it doesn't make sense
to maintain two build frameworks. You can wrap both ways so I guess it
should go either way based on consensus.
I agree, I don't want to maintain two build systems. Adding some
commands to the Ant based build system to deploy (snapshot) artifacts
into a maven repository sounds like a good solution.
