Thanks, I'll check it out.

I'm open to whatever; using the AntRun plugin was just what seemed
easiest if the tomcat community didn't want to move to maven. Doing
that seemed like less work to maintain rather than a full blown pom.

If you have some free time, this might be some useful background reading:
http://tomcat.markmail.org/thread/rk3iaqjx7coo4bsb

although it sounds as if you just want to put a Maven wrapper around the
existing build script which is very different to what that thread proposed.

Building tomcat with maven

2017-03-29 Thread Coty Sutherland 
Hi,

In order to improve my build process I'm looking at utilizing maven to
build tomcat rather than ant (maven works with an existing toolset,
whereas ant doesn't). Does anyone know of any groups that have tried
to do or are doing this, or any projects that I could look into? If
not, would anyone be interested in my progress on creating a
(hopefully simple) maven wrapper that uses AntRun plugin to build
with?



Thanks,
Coty
