Ramdas:
 
If you replace your ant build with builds with Maven, releasing versions of 
your application is a snap.
I don't know of any application to help you release with Ant.

While Maven can play with ant, Maven is heavily about convention over 
configuration -- the more you try to diverge from the Maven standard, the more 
pain you're in for.

Subject: Re: Can Maven be used for release control?



Nick,

Thanks for te info. I spent some time going thru the documents on the
"release" plugin, but could not locate any detailed examples on how to use
te "release" plugin for what i am trying to do.
Do you  know of any real world examples that i could use as a foundation to
understand how all the pieces fit together.
Like i said, i already am usng "Ant" scripts to build an EAR file based on
a project structure that is defined in Perforce source control system.  I
am trying to find examples which would show how Maven could leverage the
existing source tree and build scripts

Thanks

Ramdas

Maven sure can help with release management, see the release plugin[1].
