[ajug-members] Question about dependency management.. best practices?

[Raghavendra Anahosur]

Though Maven has a learning curve, it is worth doing it. It provides a
repository and also enforces(you could opt not to though) a uniform
structure of source.Have not worked on Ivy, but definitely Maven is very
good.

Thanks
Raghu
