@mjpost Joshua still builds with Ant right? Is there a specific requirement for the Maven pom.xml?

[mjpost]

Yep, it's ant-based. It's in the Ivy dependency file, lib/ivy.xml.

[lewismc]

Ack
So you want me to file a ticket to remove he Maven material?

I don't think we need to remove it. Doesn't Maven replace Ivy? We could transition at some point.

[lewismc]

Oh, so you want to move away from Ant + Ivy to Maven?
If you want I can work on that one?

I wouldn't say I want to, but am definitely willing if someone wants to make the case for straight Maven over ant + ivy. In general, I prefer stability in build tools and am wary of jumping from ship to ship, but if there's a good case for it, I'd happily hear it. I've had some pressure to do so from another source, so maybe it'd be good to consider.

What an understatement this was.
In all honesty I think that this is a pretty large job. The number of Git submodules, different languages, etc. I think it needs to stay open and serious thought needs to go into which build system is the best.

This issue can be closed for the time being. it is not required as Maven is not the primary build system.
