I am not agree on your point that setting up workspace is time consuming process.

I can setup workspace in only 10 minutes.

Can you please elaborate more why its time consuming for you ?
Are you using Old PC ?

ok ofbiz uses Ant
there is a build.xml for every component, and one for to build everything.
have not seen any discussion lately about maven.

 > Hi,

I worked on offbiz for four year previously and again I started as

some

of

my associated recomend to research on it.

I am not sure whether I am asking reight quesiton here or not.

Previously when I was working on offbiz to setup workspace in eclipse

,

its

a hattick job , Setting classpath is a manual process in eclipse while

for

build we use ant build.

Same functionality is provided by Maven  which support boath IDE and

duild

creation . Is some one already worked on ant to Maven Migration.

The benifit I seen in MVN you can set dependecy which is required for
perticular project or JAR level not you have set a full folder.
Second benift I found that once you setup your repository on server

which

is

not a part of your  project ,  It will save space on version server  ,

Cos

every new branch or project dosent require to copy all jar.

   This process also reduce traffic  on n/w at build time , Cos that

time

you dont have to download jar again , MVN download only new or updated

jar .

If is there any one who worked on the same thing , Please help me.
