Mick, The benefits of using Maven come not by increasing the speed of work (although eventually that will come too, but not because the tool is faster), but rather by using a uniform project model shared by all your projects and developers. The added value here is having all your developers use the same build and development methodologies - regardless of the project they work on. This is what really increases productivity - the standardization of the development process and the encouragement of proven best practices.
For more info, see http://maven.apache.org/what-is-maven.html which is a good starting point for learning the real benefits of using Maven over more low-level tools such as Ant. Kind regards, Arik Kfir. On 5/13/06, Mick Knutson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I am writing up a general proposal about the benefits of Maven over Ant. And I guess I have not seen heaps of weel written Ant scripts at my clients as I always seem to think that Maven has been faster. But I just need numbers to detail the actual benefit. --- Thank You Mick Knutson BASE logic, inc.
