The funny thing is that I assume the developers of maven think that they are alleviating some of these problems when, IMO, it is just more of the same thing.I'm worried that the consensus is that more and more projects will be moving from ant to maven. I admit to not being very experienced with maven, so someone else who is more familiar should offer some more comments. But, from my point of view:
