That's basically another abstract idea because there is no Maven or Gradle build. On the surface I can't really support it because it elevates ant to a level of a "master build" and anyone doing something else has to figure out how to make it work. If I ever get some time I intend to look into what it would take to get the framework to build with Maven. Thus far I haven't been able to do it. But when (if) I do or someone else does, we can compare the Maven (or Gradle) build with the current build and decide if we want to pick one going forward. We may decide there's a new model that's far superior to what we have now. Greg
