----------------------------------

                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TAPESTRY-1732
             Project: Tapestry
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Build
    Affects Versions: 5.0.5
            Reporter: Howard M. Lewis Ship


I like Maven dependency management.

However, it is increasingly evident to me that the Maven approach to the actual 
build, based on endless plugins and configurations, is not worthwhile.  The 
only part that's necessary is the Maven Ant tasks, which encapsulate 
downloading dependencies, installing them, and deploying them to remote 
repositories.

Everything else worthwhile that Maven provides could be created as easily using 
Ant and perhaps a few Velocity templates.  I'm willing to bet that the end 
result would work faster and take far less effort to maintain.
