Jettro Coenradie commented on CONNECTORS-92:
--------------------------------------------

I think maven is not the right tool at the moment due to the libraries that are 
used that are not available in any repository, the way the sample is started. 
The dependencies that seem to be copied to each project. I am spending a lot of 
time on creating an assembly, but that is not really the part where maven 
shines. 

> Move from ant to maven or other build system with decent library management

> So I have three questions:
> - Do you want to move to maven or put maven next to ant?
> - Do you prefer another build mechanism [ant with ivy, gradle, maven3]
> - Do you have an idea about the amount of scripts that need to be changed if

> The image of a possible project layout (that is based on the maven standards) 
> is attached to the issue
