Good to hear.  Not everyone wants to use Maven.  Someone recently did a
check and found that less than 15% of the Java projects use it.  The rest
(85%+) all use Ant.

Thanks. I know what you are talking about now.

I should probably clarify this then having spoken to him:
- this was mostly a gut feeling as it wasn't comprehensive
- it was only across the ASF and for all projects (not just Java)

Cheers,
Brett

Ask Hen.  He's the one who did the looking.

Hi Noel,

Do you have a reference for this? Interesting.

Anyway, I agree with the above point. It doesn't need to be an
either/or. Maven will generate a pretty decent ant build file for
compiling/testing/packaging and it isn't too onerous to use it for the
less frequent tasks. Of course, anyone that wants to use Ant is
welcome to maintain the build file too - there's no reason both can't
be there.
