Thanks for the comment and a good observation. You should remember that these are only samples and so, yes, I have hard coded the classpath, URL and other bits and pieces.

The use of Ant is just personal preference (and I’m not a big fan of Ant) - if Oracle did organise some public Maven repositories, I’d use them, and the weblogic-maven-plugin in a flash.

When you say the ant-way is "less hassle" though, it looks to me its primarily because you use that hardcoded classpath /Users/Roger/...

Much worse, imho, since it means the pom.xml only works on your machine, and needs to be modified by every other programmer working in the project -- just the kind of awkward stuff mvn was designed to avoid.
