Re: Generic Trend or preferred mode of developing plugins

I'm never going back to Ant, never, ever !
I would never dream of doing NB plugin or app development on Ant.


Not that Maven is perfect but for plugin development it is quite an
excellent choice and Benno's arguments (especially #1) are spot on. I must
admit I personally don't bother to contribute to someone else's project if
it's Ant based.
