What does Maven give you over Ant? It looks like a scripting language to me (if you want to do anything beyond the trivial) when what we really is something declaritive.
Something like: 1) Basic module metadata like name/version 2) Use these libraries 3) Reference these modules 4) Generate MBeans for these classes 5) Generate this javacc parser 6) Run these classes through RMIC 7) Create a number of packages for client/server install I have gradually been moving our buildmagic/ant build in this direction and improving the incremental nature of the build (there is still a long way to go ;-). See for example: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/jboss/jbossmq/build.xml?annotate=1.37.2.9 Ideally, this metadata would be build neutral so a single definition could be referenced from ant, maven, eclipse, intellij, make or whatever you choose. Down the line, I'd also like to see the reference metadata into a server config tool so you can build your own jboss configuration without having to worry too much about what you need.
