Hi, I am new to Maven. I am trying out Maven to do the build management for our group.
This is the current scenario. We have multiple modules in the project. Each module has an ant build file. I also have a master build file which is used to build all the modules, mainly during nightly build. We have also started using clover, jalopy and checkstyles. Maintaining a master ant file is becoming a cumbersome task with the use of multiple tools. We don't want to move away from individual module ant build files. We would like to use Maven to manage all the individual ant build files (as a master build file, sort of) and in addition use the plug-ins available for the other tools to do code coverage and code checking for all modules. My questions are: (1) Is Maven the right tool to do this? (2) If yes, can somebody give me some HOWTOs and also sample project descriptors to do this kind of tasks? Anything closely related will be very helpful, as either the documentation on Maven's website is too little or too confusing to me. Thank you very much -Hari
