Hi susfuse, I think u get understand that Maven was certainly the best option to AppFuse. As I saw in some Argumenting Forum Sites (by the way 1 here in Brazil) arguments comparing Dependency Management Tools and the conclusion is that Maven is (if not the best) 1 of the best. For this, and other reasons, Matt Raible get quite right choosing Maven scrip tool.
Matt, what owr fellow susfuse (and a lot of other 1) is missing is a more detailed tutorial/instructions on using AppFuse via Maven (OffLine). In AppFuse's Documentation in AppFuse.dev.java<https://appfuse.dev.java.net/servlets/ProjectDocumentList?folderID=9173> we just get: (as saw in )Dvlopin_OffLine.JPG It very natural that people that uses Ant for mothes (or even ages) are much used with Ant. Matt, I encorage u keep on your effort in AppFuse (even I know u're delighted with other tecnologies as Rails, for instance). But, I consider we should set owr focus more in UI. By the way, I think it would certainly leverage AppFuse to Web2, RIA/AJAX(a good work has already been done with Faces, DWR, etc,), JavaOnRails, etc; and Agil approachs. Candy4AppFuse and m2eclipse were *2 good iniciatives*. But, only 1 must be chosen and thus enhanced. (Obs.: other MetaFrameworks Tool like J2EE-Spider and JSenna has appeared; but AppFuse get the pro of integrating the best FrameWorks using the best DesignePatterns of the market.) In owr cenario, can see no other way to AppFuse advance. Matt anb other volunteers fellows, congratulation for the great work and cheers up to Rich Interfaces, Ice-Man 2008/11/26 Matt Raible <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > It wouldn't be easy to extend Ant to AppFuse 2.x b/c we do things like > overlaying WARs that wouldn't be as easy.
