Actually nowadays Maven and Debian go perfectly well together as we prevent Maven from downloading anything during the build process. Of course this requires that all your artifacts must be packaged for Debian already. Then Maven will just find them in /usr/share/maven-repo. So it doesn't really matter if you prefer Ant or Maven as build system. Both are equally well supported. What matters is that the build system is supported upstream and all necessary dependencies are packaged for Debian. Please feel free to ask Java specific questions on debian-java or to join the team. We gladly help you to solve those packaging questions. Regards, Markus
