1. The documentation for Google App Engine for Java (GAE/J) specifies certain Ant scripts for doing useful things such as application building and DataNucleus JDO datastore code "enhancement", so I do not want to drop Ant. 2. I know almost nothing above Maven, except that this seems to be simple to use with little configuration required to obtain the .jar (and source?) files needed (and perhaps build an application too?). 3. I do not know if Maven and Ant are incompatible, although I feel that they are. To conclude, I feel that Maven is good and the "modern, sensible way to go", but for now I'll stick to Ant, in order to avoid the possible requirement to change all my GAE/J Ant scripts to Maven things. I'm happy to be told that I am wrong in all this! I had to change my procedure for Wicket 6 to include the use of Maven.org, in order to obtain source code files which I could no longer find in the download mirrors. I shall be happy to update this procedure in the future to reflect future changes or improvements if you want me to (just let me know where it resides (if you want to use it)), even though I guess that Maven is more the future than Ant is.
