I just wanted to raise the same question right now and propose to remove all the ant related artificats within CXF. But let's see how many people still uses Ant.

Right now, we have a samples-lib directory that contains some extra libs that CXF doesn't require for anything, but various samples do. I'd like to go ahead and remove that directory and the build.xml for samples that require it. We have Maven poms for all the samples so the sample would still be buildable and runnable with Maven, but not with Ant. I see some value in keeping SOME of the samples working with Ant as not everyone uses Maven. However, shipping a bunch of libs just for a couple of samples seems a bit silly. That said, a lot of projects have gone Maven only and don't provide any ant scripts at all. We could also do that. So, there are two options: 1) Remove ant build support entirely 2) Remove ant build support for some of the samples, specifically anything requiring extra libraries or extra ant configs and such. What are peoples thoughts? I'm leaning more toward #2, but I could definitely be persuaded to go #1. If we do go #1, I'd like to refactor the samples into the standard maven structure (src/main/[java|resources]), but that could be done over time as well. -- Daniel Kulp [email protected] http://dankulp.com/blog Talend - http://www.talend.com
