Hi, Does your IDE manage third-party dependencies ? Maven do it !
I worked on my project using Jdeveloper and Ant few years ago. All people think they used a particular version of commons-lang. But commons-lang was added twice in the project... with of course two different versions. Why ? Just because Struts package in Jdeveloper include commons-lang... and developers added their own version of common-lang in the project. A such mistake with Maven cannot occurs. In another project, I need to do theses tasks : - remove dependencies because they became obsolete : with Maven, you just have to change the pom file and all your project is cleaned. - change version of dependencies because of bugs in initially selected version : with Maven, just change the pom... There's a lot of reason the move to Maven. Good Luck ! Regards !
