Re: [Axis2] Maven2 for Axis2 1.2?

Hi Tom,
I am neither an Ant fan nor a maven fan but I believe in picking the
"right tool for the job" :)
In terms of ease of maintenance and improved functionality i would say
maven is a better tool for the job than Ant.
I don't think dumping maven completely would be seen as a possible
alternative :)

Adding some more to Ajith's comments.

I think maven was not only a build tool for us. We were building our
site using maven. And I assume multi-project management is easier in
maven than in ant.

Ajith,

Fair enough.  Perhaps I am just to set in my ways to like the thing that
is compiling Java class files to also download 'stuff' from the web for
me.
