You shouldn't define same targets and properties in your every project with Merevaik, just define once, and upload the repository, and dependency management will use it automatically. Merevaik uses Ivy as the dependency management. Benefits of Merevaik: Simple learning curve: You shouldn't learn a new tehcnology. You may use plain old ANT tools Simple installation You sholdn't modify your existing build environment, only drop two jar files to ANT_HOME/LIB Lightweight tool The core of the Merevaik not bigger then 15-20 classes Easy IDE integraton The most of the IDE supports ANT based projects so supports Merevaik based projects too. You needn't specail plugins to handle Merevaik projects. Works in offline mode You can use components of Merevaik as traditional ANT task. (If you wouldn't like to use Merevaik).
