If you have "invested a significant amount of time in preparing the Ant build, and so I would prefer to find a way to leverage this work, rather than starting from scratch with Maven" then I recommend that you do not use Maven. Instead use maven-ant-tasks to interact with the maven repository and keep your build in ANT.
The reality is that if you are not prepared to drink the Maven kool-aid (it tastes great) then stick with ANT. The golden rule is "If a build ain't broke, don't fix it" Now this triggers a question.... why do you want to use Maven to build your project? -Stephen On 27 August 2010 17:58, Jacob Beard <jbea...@cs.mcgill.ca> wrote: > Hi Wayne, > > The situation is that I have invested a significant amount of time in > preparing the Ant build, and so I would prefer to find a way to leverage > this work, rather than starting from scratch with Maven.
