While there are lots of Java / Maven users, there are also a lot who *don't* use it, and indeed many who actively avoid stuff that is locked in to Maven and it's associated complexity. It's popular, yes, but I'd debate that the Java world has "rallied around" maven... My workplace (200-ish developers) is mostly Java based, and we used to use Maven 1 for a few core projects, went through some pain trying to move them to Maven 2, gave up, and have been quite happy since then working with Ivy and Ant. I'm sure maven has a lot of benefits in many workplaces, and I'm sure it's more stable and reliable than it was when Maven 2 was brand new :-} But personally, I still get post-traumatic flashbacks whenever I see the words "simple" and "maven" in the same sentence :) - Korny -- Kornelis Sietsma korny at my surname dot com "Every jumbled pile of person has a thinking part that wonders what the part that isn't thinking isn't thinking of" --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
