Dear Dave, IMHO, in general, the followings could be benefits for Roller (http://maven.apache.org/what-is-maven.html): - Making the build process easy - Providing a uniform build system - Providing quality project information - Providing guidelines for best practices development - Allowing transparent migration to new features
For example, the Struts2 homepage (http://struts.apache.org/2.x/) provides more quality project information on the project information menu and project report menu on the left side. (The site is built from `mvn site' command from the source.) There could be some debates on each benefit item above, but I'm feeling that Maven2 could be a good build option, so it would be better to provide both Ant and Maven2 build for the community. Actually, I do not have strong voice on this. (I have contributed a Korean resource translation only until now.) I think Maven2 will benefit to Roller project and I'd like to help you committers on this issue.
