Re: [vote] build system

[Peter Donald]

I have a hard time believing that "maven" is that much slower than ant. 
Maven is significantly slower at startup and a little slower when 
executing a task/action. In the first case it make be in the order of 
seconds slower and in the later case it may cost something in the order 
of 10s of milliseconds. As many of mavens tasks are just ant tasks 
invoked from jelly I can not see where anyone could cogently argue that 
maven is that much slower.

I suspect you are trying to compare cheese and chalk and that the ant 
tasks are doing significantly different things ala aggregating source 
and mergin several steps. It would be a relatively simple job to recode 
this set of ant targets as maven goals (basically adding a few namespace 
elements) to get comparable speeds with maven.

Just FYI I think I was both an ant and gump committer for a couple of 
years at least and while technically I was also a maven committer I was 
mainly a maven user.
