IMO, maintaining two build systems is only going to make things worse so
we should probably stick with Ant. The key thing about Maven is that it
downloads jars for me so I don't have to waste my time doing it manually.
Of course, we don't need that feature if we just store the jars in svn
like any sane project would ;-). We can't store some of the non-free jars
in svn but at least those would be the exception and downloading one or
two jars is better than 10 (or whatever we're up to now).
The projects I work on in Commons and my work projects are all buildable
immediately after downloading them from cvs. Some of them acheive that by
using Maven, some by just storing the dependencies in cvs. I think that
should be Struts' goal as well.
