Re: [Keelgroup] Update Documentation: Including install procedure

So do I still need to run ant create-project from the keel-build
directory to create a new project? This is what I had to do before
with the ant procedure. If Ant isn't needed anymore, how do I go about
creating a new project using just Maven? I'm talking about creating a
folder structure and everything, just like Ant did before, where it
asked me for the project location and short-name.

Thanks,
Ramin
