But Maven does not warn about using incubator versions. If you are adding a direct dependency on an incubator version, then the user may understand the significance of the word. Or they may not, depending on whether they understand the jargon correctly. But if the dependency is a transitive one, then the user does not get to know about this (unless they scan the maven log very carefully) > While ServiceMix was in incubation, we had sometime a hard time to > tell our users that being in incubation has nothing to do with the > quality of the code, but rather with IP and mostly community building. > Given we had to explain that, it is clear our users were aware that > the project was still incubating. > > > > > > 2.
