[MOBY-dev] planned changes in how to build jMoby

[Iván Párraga García]

Hi,

I have no previous experience in Maven but I think this could be a good
moment to start.

In my case there is no problem in externalizing ANT from jMoby. In my
case, ANT is installed in my systems as a common tool for my own projects.

My vote is positive.

Cheers,
