No worries I understand maven is not "hot" for some developers at the moment.
I would just like to see poms in the trunk, in order to getting the maven process started.
Like it or not..... Maven can increase the market for the portal.
PS: I never said ant is bad :-)
It's not that we don't like maven. It's just that we lack the expertise (our build process is rather complex and no one on the Portal team is a maven expert) and time (we're busy adding features and generally improving Portal) to work on switching to maven.
As far as maven increasing Portal's visibility, I have to admit that I fail to see why that would be the case...
