Arnaud HERITIER commented on MNG-5904:
--------------------------------------
The advantage of the ant build was to define a system property {{M2_HOME}}
(existing path or not) and then ant took care to bootstrap maven and install
the distribution into {{M2_HOME}}.
With another shell using this maven deployed in {{M2_HOME}} I was able to test
it on various projects without having to manually extract and potentially move
the archive produce by {{mvn package}}
> Remove the whole Ant Build

> Key: MNG-5904
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-5904
> Project: Maven
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: core
> Affects Versions: 3.4.0
> Environment: We should remove the whole Ant build cause we have a
> large number of Maven versions which could be used to start building Maven
> itself.
> So i don't see any useful in it anymore.
> Reporter: Karl Heinz Marbaise
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 3.4.0
