Yes, removing Ant is the plan for Scarab's build. We want to migrate the=20
whole build to Maven 3, to avoid a two-tier build system. Keeping Ant=20
for this has no reason for us.

Can you please point out where Ant is used exactly during runtime, and=20
how this is related to the build? Are you sure that this is still in=20
use? For webinstall we have this standalone webapp as alternative as you=20
can see here: http://itlabs.memocomp.de/ScarabWebBuilder.

The default war build, by "package", from Maven is taken, which deploys=20
all jars correctly.

As you might know, Maven and Ant behave nearly compatible, so no real=20
"change" is expected, e.g. for some special Ant tasks of Scarab we use=20
Mojos for Maven now, but there are some differences in our plan. The=20
major one might be:  All jars will be taken from official Maven=20
repositories during build, and no local repository is kept, as this is=20
not the way to go for Maven I think. You are free to set up a proxy for=20
this, Nexus or else, or use your own local repository, as this should be=20
more comfortable.

cheers,
