Ivan, Andrey, The main thing I vote for is to evaluate and to take the best from other distribute dependency management systems before starting "relatively easy to modify the DRLVM building system". I like Ivan's list, though Apache Maven has a domestic priority :-).
Let me address two real problems you have mentioned: * Update only when needed to avoid unpleasant surprises We solved this problem by keeping local Maven repository. Maven gurus can say if this is a correct way to handle this issue. * Mixed builds Maven supports anything with ANT builds - we can have pre-built binaries for basic configurations, for others Maven will load source distributions and build in their environments.
