Hi Igor,

going back to Maven is no option at the moment. We didn't build/chose to
use Buildr for fun but because of the severe pain we had with Maven. Even
when assuming the maven uncertainty principle is solved and Maven has
improved in general, there are several features in our build that Maven
simply cannot provide and which would take lots of efforts to rebuild it.
To name a few its the acceptance testing in axis2-war, which supports
testing against multiple databases or the creation of SQL DDLs for a whole
bunch of databases. When we switched to Buildr we could cut down the build
script size from some thousands of lines of XML code to some hundreds of
Ruby code. As a side effect, the build became twice as fast and we had the
ability to escape to plain ruby for things that the build system did not
support out of the box.

A better and more feasible solution is to improve the build instructions
and our documentation to make it less hassle for you. What difficulties did
you exactly experience?

Best,
  Tammo
