title: Should I migrate from Ant to Maven?
body: <p>I am working on a fairly large project (with a number of modules, a bunch of external libraries etc.) and we are now considering switching from Ant to Maven. I understand the differences between the two, but I am not convinced that it is really worth spending time converting the project layout, setting up all the dependencies, teaching developers and configuration managers doing things "the new way" etc.</p>
  
  <p>There are a lot of resources on the web describing how to migrate from Ant to Maven, but I haven't found that many that say why :-)</p>
