Yep. Maven is really powerfull for such task. Of course you can produce several artifacts from single project, but easier way would be to structure your code and use reactor to pull the things together. Maven is really nice when it comes to active development of several dependent projects at the same time. Right now, we have 4 projects and 4 developers, without clear separation. Dependency management ( and artifact distribution ) would be plain unmanageable without maven... ) > So if you need a custom build, you still may use > ant... but can you > call this build from maven, or must you call ant > directly? You can call any ant task from maven.xml - because maven uses ant behind the scenes ( but not only ant ) Think of goals defined in plugins as pre-cooked ant tasks. regards, ===== Konstantin Priblouda ( ko5tik ) Freelance Software developer < http://www.pribluda.de > < play java games -> http://www.yook.de > < render charts online -> http://www.pribluda.de/povray/ > __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
