There are more.

Before you can even think about building WO projects using Ant you have to at least have woproject.jar in your Ant plugin classpath. And then, the only reason you don't think much about Ant is that Someone Else wrote a >200 line Ant script for you (that you are required to copy verbatim for each and every WO project you create. How's that for reusability). > How is Maven more simple than that? It always seems like Maven becomes an > active part of your project as opposed to being a background thing. Well, the whole "background thing" during development, that makes WO development great has nothing to do with Ant. That's enabled by WOLips, Eclipse, and a lot of work from great people. The initial setup of a Maven environment for WO development may take an hour or two—that's because WO is proprietary and thus requires some installation. But once your environment is properly set up, Maven works great. I started out the easy way—just added a "pom.xml" to my standard frameworks alongside the "build.xml"-files (like Project Wonder does). But eventually, you'll want to use all the amazing features Maven has to offer. And it's so much simpler than the 200+ lines of procedural code every single simple little WO application requires to even build with Ant. - hugi _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
