Hi Noel, Do you have a reference for this? Interesting.
Anyway, I agree with the above point. It doesn't need to be an either/or. Maven will generate a pretty decent ant build file for compiling/testing/packaging and it isn't too onerous to use it for the less frequent tasks. Of course, anyone that wants to use Ant is welcome to maintain the build file too - there's no reason both can't be there. - Brett On 8/27/05, Noel J.
