One of the major strength of Maven is that it manages the various jar (library) dependencies in a seemless way. Multiple sub

Creating large projects with Ant becomes a huge task of managing xml errors while trying to get the damn thing to build something. Now lets add some complication! People will love this. Eat it right up!
Someone really needs to build a better make. Make a better make. Whatever. If your one of those wacky open source coders who dont have a proj
