Build question
How will James be built going forward? Will Maven or Ant be the
preferred build tool? Will one be used for maintaining 2.X and another
for 3?

not really - just establishing that there's sufficient consensus to
avoid a -1 when the changes are committed
on the other hand, there's work ongoing getting some upstream
dependencies into the maven repositories and the james parent pom
needs updating so i'd prefer to roll out gradually starting with the
upstream libraries

I'm supportive for moving the 3.x server build to maven, too. Finally.
It's breaking my heart, but better to break my heart than the project.
;-)
Do we need a vote?

a controversial question so i'll try to explain the consensus as i see
it (hopefully anyone who disagrees will jump in)
2.x is stable and changes will be kept minimal. so ant will remain the
preferred build tool and maven only used to build the website.
for the james 3.x server code base, it's controversial. both are
supported and maintained.
for the 3.x libraries which have been factored out, we're moving
towards maven (it has much better OSGi support and can be maintained
with less duplication)
