Description
The current Ant based build system, while adequate, does not lend itself to simple dependency management or production of release artifacts suitable for inclusion in public repositories. This issue is intended to add a parallel build mechanism using Maven 2.2 that uses the existing Ant tasks for the more complex parts of the build (code generation et al) while making the specification of library dependencies much simpler. It is envisaged, that if this system is approved, we could eventually move over to Maven completely and ditch the Ant build files entirely.
