It would probably be a good idea to one of the build system being the "official", which is used for releases. Otherwise, formal binariy releases would look different from time to time, and users might be confused when trying to replicate the releases Out of personal experience, I prefer Maven, simply because I find.it proposes more consistent builds over multiple projects. And, there is tons of experience at Apache when using Maven to fulfill all the Apache requirements on releases (licenses, notices, license headers, GPG). /niklas
