a controversial question so i'll try to explain the consensus as i see it (hopefully anyone who disagrees will jump in) 2.x is stable and changes will be kept minimal. so ant will remain the preferred build tool and maven only used to build the website. for the james 3.x server code base, it's controversial. both are supported and maintained. for the 3.x libraries which have been factored out, we're moving towards maven (it has much better OSGi support and can be maintained with less duplication) - robert --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
