Ok Spare me for this post. I am a newbie like the guy here: Importance of tools like Ant Maven
But i want to really start learning specially ant scripts and maven. I went on their respective project sites but could not find basic documentation from where i should start with.
I would appreciate your time if you could direct me to some simple tutorials/articles that explain basic usage of ant and maven. Specially if there is some basic example that really explains how well maven and/or ant are used and provide benefits over static build process.
I am thinking to setup a local repository over my same machine, should i go with redmine or SVN, any recommendation for a newbie please, thanks
As suggested, starting with a specially written book would probably be the best idea if you really want to understand well. But to give you a kick start, this resource was really helpful to me:
10 Minutes Guide to Ant
It will give you step by step approach how to setup a test project for a complete newbie.
