-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 There are reasons why I'll never see that methodology in some places, but let's stick to where it can work: Despite issues anyone may have with Maven, why not use ibiblio for it? Instead of YAPTG (yet another place to go)?
I'm still in favor of getting more of the commonly requested services packaged together. Some I believe would be nice in Tapestry (not core, but as contrib is today), some less so. I just think we need to start getting the "componentization" (what Tapestry preaches) back into services as well as into presentation.
