- Well, it looked somehow strange to me using different buildsystems within a project (directory). - From a POV as developer I don't like having different build systems within a main project. You need to have knowledge of different build systems developing 'at the bleeding edge'. From a community view you don't need to have different 'build specialists' to fix/adapt/maintain the build- / deployment- and release-process. - I think it's easier to maintain 1 build system all over the top project because you're able to use knowledge and other synergies. - It reduces the learning curve for developers having a kind of standard within the main project. You also use coding standards to make life easier and code better readable. I'm not saying that maven is more preferable than ant/ivy but it just looks strange to me having different build systems for subprojects within a project (and less subprojects use ant/ivy than maven).
