I am about to start a Java project(Android One) and was wondering what would be the best Project Management Approach? Maven or Ant + Ivy
What are the strengths and weaknesses of each? I have taken a look online and like mavens simplicity, but am told that it is hard to do custom things with it when my project needs them.
I have used Ant in the past, but never with a dependency management tool like Ivy
Also, I will be using Eclipse, so ease of integration would also be a factor
Just as custom tasks can be developed for Ant, custom plugins can be written for Maven. Additionally, you can always call Ant tasks from Maven if/as you need.
Especially recently, Maven integrates really well into Eclipse using m2e (formerly m2eclipse).
My opinion: Go with Maven.
