Re: [Jsynthlib-devel] Two refactoring questions

[frankster <jsy...@te...>]

Its funny you should say this because I was talking to my friend last 
week, and he was saying that maven now is what ant was 10 years ago. 
i.e. 10 years ago ant was the standard build system, but these days 
maven is.

In the longer run it could be interesting to look into the benefits that 
maven would provide over ant (or even make).

cheers,
Frankie
