Let's be clear here

Up till now I have been talking about a maven plugin for AndroMDA use, not
for building AndroMDA

i.e. if I am using AndroMDA in my project & my project is already using
maven, then I would use the maven AndroMDA plugin to build the AndroMDA
portions of my project

So in this way, there is no impact on current users of AndroMDA (they
continue to use their own Ant scripts) or current builders of AndroMDA since
nobody is being forced to use maven.

It would also be possible to move the AndroMDA project itself over to a
maven based build, but that is a completely different topic, unrelated to
having a maven plugin for AndroMDA.

IMO there are many reasons to use maven in your project, not the least of
which is very high levels of reuse, excellent dependency management and a
very active community (obviously Ant has an even more active community).
Maven however is a controversial choice to some and so it should be left up
to individuals and organizations to decide (as far as AndroMDA use, not
AndroMDA building)

I hope that help clarify the discussion
