So -- why not include an ant distribution in Maven? You could be sure of the version of both ant and all the optional libraries which need to be installed with it. And it'd be easier to work with maven-style projects, if you need a different version of ant for other projects. We've done this with ant for a large, complex, internally-managed build system at my company; and not having to worry about the ant which is installed elsewhere OS made things much easier. cheers -- Ed -- +=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-= | Ed Korthof | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | 650-228-2527 | +=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-=+=-= -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
