Should we move the build process to maven?

[Nabarun Mondal <na...@gmail.com>]

Hi team, 
I work for newly spawned brother of DESIS ( http://www.deshawindia.com <http://www.deshawindia.com/> ) which is now http://www.arcesium.com <http://www.arcesium.com/> .
and we use JMeter heavily. In fact we do use Jmeter for functional testing.
To do so, we maintain our own cloned copy of modified Jmeter, which we are maintaining for 4 years.

I was thinking that maintenance would become kind of easy if we choose to move to maven style of project building.
In fact I am working on it, right now, for our cloned copy.

Thus, I am asking if it is OK to move from ant to maven?
Any suggestion would be appreciated!
Thanks

This has been discussed several times before; search the developer mailing list.

The short answer is no, JMeter is not moving to Maven.
Please see the previous discussions for details.
