Mauro Talevi commented on JBEHAVE-236:
--------------------------------------
Hi Liz,
Ant build had out-of-date dependencies. I've now refactored it to read the
dependencies from the Maven pom.xml so they are in sync, using the
maven-ant-tasks (does not require Maven installed, but does required the
maven-ant-tasks jar in the Ant lib dir, see BUILD.txt). Build works again,
with only exception that I could not get the Paranamer-based behaviours to pass
in CandidateStepBehaviour. It is a classloading issue, only occuring with Ant.
If you run 'ant setup', which copies the dependencies to target/lib, and then
use to setup your IDE classpath, you'll see that in IDE the behaviour works
fine. So I excluded it for now from the batch of unit tests, leaving a FIXME in
the build.xml.
More in general, this issue shows that keeping two build systems in place is an
overhead that we could do without. I think that basic usage of Maven does not
differ very much from Ant, with notable exception that it's a bit more
structured (with advantage of consistency). The BUILD.txt file at top-level
that has some basic info on how to build with Maven. We can expand it if you
can point out what could be clarified better, from a Maven novice POV.

> Hi Mauro,
> The Maven build has completely superseded the Ant build, which is now very
> broken. This is fair, since you've done all the work lately - thanks!
> Could you please put a small amount of documentation out to show how to build
> JBehave from check-out, for those of us who don't know Maven? The learning
> curve has been off-putting even for those of us who care a lot ;)
> Cheers,
> Liz.
