We already have eclipse files checked in AFAIK - that counts as the second
build system.
We used to have makefiles too, also in parallel with ant (in 3.0 times).
The goal IMO is that people who like to type mvn can do it - without any
guarantee that
the result will be identical with the official release or will be maintained
long term, just like
isn't that the culprit, including a feature under the pretenses that it
wont be maintained?

the eclipse project can run but it's quite different from the official
build.
If it's making easier for some people to build tomcat - and it doesn't
affect people who use
ant in any way - what's the harm ?

The current build scripts are fully tested and work well. Adding

Again, no one is saying anything about touching the current build
scripts, build process, release process, or source structure. All
those remain the same. The job of the release manager remains the
same.
This is just an alternative for those people who want to use a
slightly easier / user-friendlier build system. We could do worse
than lowering the barrier to entry for new contributors.
You mean you type "mvn" instead of "ant" ? I agree te keys are closer
together on my keyboard, so it could indeed be easier. Personally, I did
have a first hand experience with Maven, and I think it's horrible (you
have no clue what it is doing, error reporting is bad, and basically,
you have to think and act the tool's way).
I disagree with having two separate build systems, there's no guarantee
of equivalence.
