One of the things that prompted this for me was I was considering running through and updating the NB Platform tutorials, which can all use some work. And one of the considerations I was having was whether to simply clean it up, or whether they perhaps should be "redone" using the Maven projects as a baseline rather than the Ant projects. And, also, simply, to make sure that they even worked under Maven. I agrees with others, Ant is much faster day to day. But the pom.xml has become the universal project file for Java, since all of the IDEs support it, helping ensure that a single source base can work across multiple IDEs. And Maven has become more and more a first class citizen within the NB system, which is why I wanted to know what the community view was on the Ant project system and any visions for it in the future.
