Here's my unsolicited opinion on this. I've been using maven 2 on the
jsf-extensions project and I've come to like it a lot. As Kohsuke
pointed out, the glassfish build system is hard to learn. The main
value-proposition of maven is its *standardized* directory layout and
build structure. When I move from one maven project to another, I
*know* how it works.
The more of the world we can move to maven2 the easier it will be for
people to get productive when coming to a new project. That's what we
want for glassfish.
