Maven2 is very good at small and large projects. My only complaint with maven2 is that it seems not quite ready [2.0.4] in some areas...if you need those 'not-quite-ready' areas you are in for some work as you will need to build and install snapshots of various plugins.
...Just my two cents. -dh -----Original Message----- From: Sha Jiang [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 06, 2006 4:52 AM To: Maven Users List Subject: Re: Re: Is maven good to small projects Hi, Generally, I only use Eclipse. If there are serveral developers or many moduels , Ant and CruiseControl can be considered. I only think we don't consider Maven first in a small project. Of course, I must say that I don't recognize Maven several days before. I may be confused by Maven's "complex" mechanism, Ant can be used more freely :) My words are from a newbie's eyes. I'm learning the tool and its soul, and will use it in a real project. a cup of Java, cheers!
