I'll be giving a Maven presentation in the next couple of months, and wanted to know if anyone had any good resources on this sort of thing. I want to highlight how Maven is significantly better than what we are currently doing, which is relatively typical: ant scripts with custom deploy systems (to push configurations). What are the biggest points that make using maven better, I've read the "What is Maven?" page, and I've got the five main bullet points. Should I just stick to those?
A google search brings up the following: http://wiki.wsmoak.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?Maven/Presentation Which suggests that if we've got a working ant build, there's no real point to using maven, which surprised me, cause the maven documentation suggests that Maven is more than a build system. How do I really make the case that it does more than this? -- cgp
