I really don't like to use Maven.
The problem is it will download the whole world into my computer.
I believe in order to do a build you needed to be connected to the
internet as well (pls correct me if I am wrong).
Having said that we need something that works well on every OS. The
current solution is not quite there.
But I don't think the answer is Maven.
All though the tool chain is downloaded outside of the checkout, it
still does download a whole lot more.
I can do the same thing with ant, though.
Suppose I used the same tools I used before, but my ant task checked to
see if the tools are there, installing them into subdirectories if they
are not.
If you're offline, and the tool chain is already installed, this still
works. If you're offline, and the tool chain is not already installed,
you wouldn't have been able to install anyway.
