My 2ct: I have a couple of old but still maintained Java projects based on Ant, some of them with HTML components. I tried to convert them to Gradle to benefit of their dependency management, but failed: too many changes in the source code layout to start with, and I didn't even came near my build specialties. I then figured out how to add Ivy which turns out to be not too difficult to integrate into my ant build and so I got my dependency management.
My wish for the future: please don't give up on ant. I would like to see an update to the latest version because I could use some of the new features which are missing in the one NB uses. And I would like to see some Ivy support in Netbeans. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] For further information about the NetBeans mailing lists, visit: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Mailing+lists
