I'm half asleep right now, so I may be completely confused. Or I may just not
from Maven well enough yet. I did say it was half an idea, and might not have
been worth posting. Lemme think about it further and see where, if anywhere, it
goes.

How large is the actual Maven core application itself, without even the
"standard" plugins?
(I've got half an idea and am trying to guess how much work it would be to
prototype something.)

Hey Tamas,
The big picture here is that we, over at Xalan-J, well, Joe's doing the
work, are porting Xalan-J from Ant to Maven.

Maven's declarative nature may be its second greatest strength, following
platform independence and preceding the rich plugin collection.
The lack of any _dependency_ driven flow below the module level -- apparently
typically solved by throwing more modules into the mix just to achieve
You can get an idea by downloading the source zip file from
https://maven.apache.org/download.cgi and and counting something like Java
source files or kilobytes' worth of Java files, or LoCs...
FWIW, I see Gradle mentioned here and there in our issues. Using
Gradlebwould be a huge mistake IMO...
I don't know what issue you're struggling with for the Maven build so we
should talk this week or discuss it over email. I don't want to ask you to
explain all of this over email if it's quicker to explain via voice. Maybe
we can start with: Where is the Maven build and what's the current hurdle?
