Yes, the Ant script is what I use (for myself and for the nightly builds). There was talk on some thread or another ... hmm, I seem to remember a certain advocate for a compromise position :-) ... that you could have it both ways by simply generating a build.xml file from Maven. As pointed out in a couple of other emails, it's not clear to me whether that is sufficient to provide the functionality that the current struts-faces build.xml script provides -- particularly in adapting to the differences between the JSF RI and MyFaces. I may be ignorant in this respect (especially with respect to recent innovations in Maven land), but this is a dealbreaker for struts-faces (or Shale, for that matter) to rely on Maven. > > PS: Interestingly, one of the advantages Martin mentions for Maven > > (generates the web site for you) was *not* a particular motivator for > > the Struts web site, because we had already invested the pain and > > agony to build reasonable stylesheets for transformations from our > > xdocs files.
