Christian Köberl commented on TAP5-116:
---------------------------------------
Maybe this should be closed as Won't Fix (either stick with Maven or move to
Gradle as Howard suggested).
> Replace Maven build with Ant build

> I like Maven dependency management.
> However, it is increasingly evident to me that the Maven approach to the
> actual build, based on endless plugins and configurations, is not worthwhile.
> The only part that's necessary is the Maven Ant tasks, which encapsulate
> downloading dependencies, installing them, and deploying them to remote
> repositories.
> Everything else worthwhile that Maven provides could be created as easily
> using Ant and perhaps a few Velocity templates. I'm willing to bet that the
> end result would work faster and take far less effort to maintain.
