Of course, keeping an open mind is important. This is why I also deeply test
each new Maven release. Moving to it however means a different thing and it's a decision.

I did, however as a user I can't say that I'm very happy.
I'm using Cayenne (where I can or where I'm allowed to do it) just because of one thing:
"The Modeler", since this is that is the most closest to WebObject's productivity level.
I might be wrong, but from all these directions in the mailing lists, I have the bad presentiment
that it will be the most ignored part despite the fact that it's the only that give Cayenne a great
productivity
advantage over the concurrence.

I was meaning ANT. ANT, or the way of building projects with ANT is not broken so
there's no need to fix it with Maven. There are of course better ideas than ANT, but in *practice*,
ANT "just works", so IMHO it needs no fix.
