Folks, This is a bit OT, but I know there are a few or maybe more power users of Maven on this list. We are having a little chat whether to ditch Maven as an internal build system [1], [2]. Feel free to comment if you have constructive ideas, but no flames please - we are really trying to make a decision on the build system, and this is what matters :-)
Hi Andrus, what a good question -) Maven is quite a dream, the idea is perfect, its powerful and quite easy to use... But it can be a nightmare while trying to make serious unit tests, please refer to the Cocoon build notes for pleasant notes, or find the blog from my friend Stephane Bailliez member from the Joost team where he deals with this subject... Joost seems to keep an old solution based on ANT + Ivy ..Works well... No other comments... Oops just a small one, running after the latest release of any library in the Maven repositories is quite boring, Spring 2 M 4 is available but not final release, Hibernate 3.2 but not 3.2.1 or 3.2.2... Installing manually jars on local repositories is a feature but should be quite rare while its permanent... My 2 pieces Jerome Andrus
