Re: [Jsynthlib-devel] Change project structure

[denis q. <dqu...@fr...>]

Hi,

maven and ant can be used together. For example if you have special 
things to do for build the package, you can call ant from the pom. My 
professionnal projects often combine maven and ant as maven is the 
common build tool for all.

Another choice yould be Gradle wich can be viewed as maven+ant in 
groovy. But it's another thing to install...

I also started to re-encapsulate the API and re-wrote the Ant scripts so that adding unit testing support would be trivial. Since JSynthLib doesn't have any real dependencies, I'd humbly suggest that Maven is more trouble than it's worth (I use Maven at work on a project with many dependencies, but strongly feel that Ant and Ivy are a better solution).
