I'm willing to try Maven. There would be no harm in Brandon creating the full Maven build that does everything the existing build does (tests, coverage, reports, versioning, manifest, deployable ZIP, release.txt update etc). There's nothing in the current build that isn't used, so Maven would have to do exactly the same thing or something equivalent or better for it to be a suitable replacement. At that point we could cut over to Maven.
If Maven can do everything easier, faster, cleaner better, or for some benefit....I would be willing to be completely wrong. I'll post my wrong-ness to this list publicly and send Brandon a cake. :-) Clinton On 2/13/07, Larry Meadors <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

I guess we could bundle it with iBATIS like we bundle ant, but IMO, that is messier, because maven is a bit more involved than ant is. > >> all the unnecessary anger > > There's no anger man.

I take that back. Larry
