I think i would echo Jeff's sentiment and hold to one or the other.
As far as integration. Both IDEA and Netbeans have excellent Maven 2 support. IDEA has the Maven 2 Integration plugin that is installable from their Plugins setting. Netbeans has mevenide which allows you to open POMs as a project in the same manner as it does ant (http://mevenide.codehaus.org/m2-site/index.html). Altough, I'm not a fan of Netbeans (at all), I have had to use it on a recent project and have found the Maven 2 integration works great. Eclipse has support for Maven 2 as well (http://m2eclipse.codehaus.org/) although i haven't used it. Brandon On 2/14/07, Clinton Begin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
If that's the case, would it make sense to use Ant for build and Maven for deploy? One thing I'll miss with Maven is the tool integration. I imagine I could get a Maven plugin for IDEA and Eclipse, but Ant is ubiquitous and works with a lot of other tools. At least I know Continuum works with Maven! Continuum* rocks.
