clojure-maven-plugin upstream did use ProcessBuilder until the following commit: http://github.com/talios/clojure-maven-plugin/commit/e6553c67031bcea4f4137a7cecd103345b13a4f9 According to the commit message, this was done to fix certain specific bugs. It would be bad form to potentially reintroduce those bugs into Debian. Thanks, -- Peter -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
