Chinthaka,
I'm in favour of using Maven for Woden as it will bring the project in line with other WS projects. I will also express concern over doing this before the interop event as I don't want to see disruptions in Woden development at this time. If you can make progress without the potential of breaking the current Ant build script feel free to go ahead.
One requirement I'd like to maintain is that anyone should be able to build Woden. Personally I think this is accomplished easily using Ant. As previous posts have stated that it's possible to maintain the Ant script and use it for the Maven builds I'd like to use this solution.

Using of maven or ant has nothing to do with the size of the project.
Its a user preference and convenience, perhaps.

Well answer to this question is anever going battle between ant and
maven. You can see them a lot specially in ApacheCons.

I agree, but what if some one like me offers to help the Woden project
with that. It won't cause any harm for the current implementations. But
may enhance developer experience.
If all this means that you all do not like using maven, I will withdraw
the proposal. Its your call.
