--- Comment #2 from Mark Thomas <ma...@apache.org> ---
This is one of the things discussed at the Tomcat Summit this week.

My proposal was to start a multi-module maven project in the sandbox using svn
externals to pull in the relevant bits of Tomcat source for each module. I'd
create a couple of modules to see if it was doable and then leave it for the
next Maven fan who comes along championing a switch to finish off. If they are
able to create a working build then at that point the community can compare the
Maven build and the Ant build and decide which is best.

I plan to close this issue as LATER once I have the first couple of modules
created.

Right now I am not at all convinced of the benfits of switching - I think your
move to a single source tree was one of the best things we ever did for making
the code easier to work with - but switching to Maven keeps coming up and
rather than yet another abstract discussion this provides a mechansim for us to
have something concrete to compare.
