Newer does not necessarily indicate better. XML vs plists (for most
things)? I find Ant better than make, though far from perfect. When
I have used Maven it always seems like far, far too much effort for
what work it saved.

Hi Galen,
I think it is not like WOLips vs Xcode where the latter was
deprecated
and everybody must use the former. In this case, Maven is an
alternative to Ant. In fact, you can use both if you want (like
Wonder
does). Anyway, a mechanism [1][2] to develop WO projects with
Maven is
not recent. They exist for more than a year.
You will see people telling that there is no reason to use Maven to
build a WebObjects project (like Chuck)
I did not say there was no reason. I said that I had not reason
and could not see one. :-) I am willing to change my mind, but I
have not yet seen any compelling reason to do so. Ant builds are
bad enough.l
Chuck
and people that cannot imagine
your development lifecycle without Maven (like me). The funny
part is
that both group of people are probably right. :) You have to
identify
which tool fits best to your needs.

PS.: Everything I have been writing here is based on my
observation of
the discussions and my own experience with WO and Maven. I haven't
gone neither to WOWODC nor WWDC.

So, is Maven becoming the new standard for building WebObjects
instead of
Ant? From a WebObjects point of view, what advantages does
Maven have over
Ant?
