I was just curious as to why ServiceMix is built with Maven? What are Maven's advantages over a more standard tool such as ant?
Maven is an extremely powerful project management tool, not just a build tool. Maven provides a tremendous amount of functionality that Ant does not - dependency management, standardized directory structure, standardized goals, etc., etc. There are just waaaaaaaaaaaay too many reasons to list.
Also, I have deployed some ServiceMix Service assemblies and Service Units and am wondering how easy it will be to convert these maven pom-based projects into projects that use ant?
You can tell Maven to generate a build.xml for use with Ant if you like. See the maven-ant plugin here: http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-ant-plugin/ Bruce -- perl -e 'print unpack("u30","D0G)[EMAIL PROTECTED]&5R\"F)R=6-E+G-N>61E<D\!G;6%I;\"YC;VT*" );' Apache Geronimo - http://geronimo.apache.org/ Apache ActiveMQ - http://activemq.org/ Apache ServiceMix - http://servicemix.org/ Castor - http://castor.org/
