Awesome. Am I reading that right that you could essentially embed scala code right in the POM? On Wed, Oct 8, 2008 at 1:50 PM, David Bernard [EMAIL PROTECTED]wrote: Hi, @Tim I don't have more info than the announce of 2.1.0-m1 or the following article : *

Hey Derek, I know about this command :-) My observation (of my friend at least) is that his reaction was holy- cow, i need to learn this build tool, a new language and a new framework. The language and framework part you cant get away from invariably but perhaps we can do something on the build

I agree on the Maven mojo programming. Anything to simplify custom build scripts would be great, so SBT sounds like an interesting idea. I didn't mean to imply that it was a bad idea, just that you don't need all of the -Ds :) Derek On Mon, Oct 6, 2008 at 9:46 AM, Tim Perrett [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I took a quick look at it. like make, ant, builr the main issue I've got with it's it require scala to be installed and to don't manage the version of scala use to build you're project. And I suspect it could only build scala-project that used the same version as the tools itself. But I pro a

There's no *requirement* to use all of the -D stuff. If you just do mvn -U archetype:generate you actually get a nice list of archetypes, two of which are: 31: internal - lift-archetype-blank (A blank/empty liftweb project) 32: internal - lift-archetype-basic (The basic (liftweb) project) If
