As someone who uses Maven in his own projects (and is evangelizing it in other non Jakarta projects) I would love to see Common's built using Maven. But really, if Common's was built with either Maven or Krysalis, we would have some of the same advantages, not having to decipher build.xml files to get good compiles!
I ended up having to tweak the dbcp build.xml because of various classpath issues. Now I have to remember those changes whenever I rebuild dbcp from CVS. If it uses a standard build system, then life will be much easier... PS, In reading, one of the things I like best about VisualStudio is the addition of more "build" structure. Not trying to start a flame war about .net or anything, but if Java has a solid open source build system (whatever it ends up being) the better it looks to compete.

I am very weary of any NIH type sentiment, is it might eventually lead to massive wastes of effort. I am aware of neither Maven nor Krysalis, so I can't comment on anything but the dogfood sentiment. Dogs don't really care where their food come from, they just eat it...

I admit that I'm biased towards Jakarta technologies, but it has nothing to do with NIH (focus on invented), think of it more like me being community centered. The same reason why I use Catalina instead of Jetty. Both are good containers, it is just that Catalina came from here and this is my community that I belong to. I support the community I belong to. Simple. Now, why doesn't Krysalis join with Maven? Would that be calling the Krysalis developers NIH? I don't think so...it is their choice. I also gave valid technical reasons why I prefer Maven....however, you choose to focus on the dog food statement. Yawn.
