I suppose that I should have provided a definition. ALF is the Eclipse Application Lifecycle Framework. It appears to be one of those big industry consortium frameworks that allows third party build, reporting, analysis, deployment and other such tools to be integrated into Eclipse in a standardized way. It sure seems like there's a lot of similarities between the ALF project > goals and what Maven already does, but I'm not sure how the two would work > together. Is it even reasonable to think about using Maven in this way? Out of the box, ALF doesn't seem to do much of anything, but with the addition of ALF compatible third party tools, it is supposed to provide tool integration and orchestration capabilities. I was just wondering if Maven might fit into the ALF model and was hoping that there were plans to make it ALF compatible at some point. Convincing management to allow me to use a new build system like Maven > would be MUCH easier if I could tell them that it's ALF compatible. Although the folks in charge here are amenable to Open Source solutions, convincing them to use a build tool they've never heard of that isn't even compatible with the system they've built up is an uphill battle. I was hoping someone could tell me that Maven does have ALF compatibility that I had overlooked. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Eclipse-ALF-compatibility-tf2229357.html#a6286384 Sent from the Maven - Users forum at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
