No, you will not be able to use Maven. I am sorry if I wasn't clear in
my email. I am removing the Maven build process - all poms except the
main pom which is required for getting releases into Maven central will
be removed.
If you have the DWR source you have all of the dependencies as they are
checked into SVN. You also have the .classpath and .project files which
you can easily import and have a complete working project set-up. So
building with Maven results in you having two copies of all the
dependencies (local Maven Repo and DWR source tree). It also requires
one more step for creating/importing your projects - running mvn
eclipse:eclipse. It seems to me that the Ant process is actually
easier. Can you please provide more information on what you will be
missing?
Also, you can always keep the poms and still use them we are just not
going to maintain them. That is why I want to remove them from SVN. I
don't want to confuse or mislead people into thinking that we build
with and maintain the Maven build process.
