The complexity of maven is well understood and battle tested. The complexity of a custom build is not. In my opinion it is of a far more concerning sort of complexity.
- fian 5y agoIt's an Ant build file - nothing complex at all. If you no or few dependencies and are comfortable managing them manually, Ant is fine. Non-networked applications don't tend to need to be so paranoid about keeping up to date with the latest versions of dependencies.
- stepbeek 5y agoWe're probably optimizing for different things. I'm normally optimizing for easy onboarding of someone new. If this is a personal project with few dependencies then ant is probably good enough.
