Thanks for the explanation and offer.

I would, of course, prefer not spend a long time learning the details of yet 
another supporting tool (maven), just so I can take a tutorial, but on the 
other hand, I don't want to take up your valuable time on an ant enhancement 
that no one else apparently desires, so I'll shift to the maven tutorial now.

Not knowing anything about maven, can you tell me this, please? What does maven 
do for us, essentially, that ant cannot?
