The case against Maven?
- by Asgeir S. Nilsen
Time and time again I've read and heard people frustrated over Maven and how complicated it is. And that it's much easier to use Ant to build code.
However, in order to:
Compile code
Run tests
Package a deployable unit
This is all you need from Maven:
<project>
<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
<groupId>type something here</groupId>
<artifactId>type something here</artifactId>
<version>type something here</version>
</project>
What would be the corresponding minimal Ant build file?
