Exactly. Before we step into a new build system, we should first
determine what is actually wrong with the current build system.
But that aside, does using something other than Ant give a tangible
benefit? If "yes", then I have no objection.
Exactly, if there are big benefits, then i would accept another
system. Now we have a system where many have invested their time in,
and are we going to throw this away?
The work to move to Maven has already been done, yes?
Maven as a way to deliver the jars to users of river i have no problem
with. I see no benefit in building river with maven.
Do we want to support 2 build systems?
A thousand times "no". :-)

PS: The effect on me, these new build systems in the pipeline, have a
paralyzing effect. I looked at the build graph of river, and saw
cosmetic problem, and thought, why should i put the time in to fix it,
now, to have the ant system ripped out in a months time?

Hang in there Sim, the benefits will become more apparent once it's

Cheers,
