Currently I am writing a small web application using Torque as OM. However, I find it rather cumbersome to heavily depend on Maven only for the Torque part (the rest is dutifully carried out by the tools provided by Eclipse)Is there no way to somehow perform this task (at least the compilation task) without maven?
From experience, there is never such a thing as a "small application", only "an application that hasn't had the chance to get big yet".
Also, by building the app solo, you are far less likely to reuse that app's code elsewhere, as it's too much of a pain to set up the dependencies. If you can, stick with maven for the build. Relying purely on an IDE to build something means that if someone else needs to maintain your code, they need to use your IDE, not the one they are most efficient with.
