Carsten Ziegeler is presenting “Maven is your friend”. I always saw Maven as a foe, but my opinion is entirely based on unverified assumptions, so I decided to attend Carsten’s session to see if my assumptions are correct or not.
Turns out Maven has lots of interesting and useful features, but I don’t think that’s enough to make me change my old habit of just using Ant. The problem is, I don’t think I’m going to invest a significant portion of my time to overcome the learning curve, however gentle it might be. But if I happened onto a project that already uses Maven, or someone proposed to use Maven on a project I am already contributing to, I won’t certainly oppose it.
