Eran,
From what I've seen of it it, I actually think Maven is very cool and I am very happy to see you pitch in a help Woden. Let's agree not to enage in religious debates here. There are other forums for that. Let's also agree to give eachother the benefit of the doubt. If someone asks a simple questions, let's give them a simple answer. If Maven has some real benefit for Woden, please describe it.
I'd also like us to make use of JIRA to capture any work items. Feel free to open a JIRA for any proposed change to Woden. Describe the need for the change in the JIRA. Also have a look at the open JIRAs and see if there are any of higher priority. We need to help the project achieve its goals. We should be using JIRA in our status calls to assign work.

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.
