Listen. I'm new to Maven. Whatever baggage is exists in this project is not my concern. Maven is great and has a lot of potential. I see room for a possible improvement and I'm trying to articulate that as best as possible. After all this is open source. Honestly, I'm not that concerned wit pre4 time frame (obviously any long lasting design decisions that were made, are explainable). I *DO* care about the future roadmap! I'm not throwing mud, I'm trying to help. Maybe Jason didn't see this before, maybe he sees it better now, maybe it was articulated poorly before, maybe it still needs to be explained better, whatever the case lets just keep the discussion technical. If someone doesn't agree, convince them. If you can't, don't whine, keep trying, or fork off ;-) > The whole "everything in one repository on the planet" approach is > flawed. That's what I'm saying for four month now. And Jason gave me a > "whiner" label because of that. No offense, but I would have to give this email a "whiner" label myself, and I've only been on this list several days. Basically what I'm trying to say is, I have no personal feelings involved. I think a de-centralized repository approach would be extremely COOL! I will work with everyone on this list to formalize the idea into a solid design, that hopefully will turn into +1's across the board :-) Nothing personal, just ideas - - Mike > > Regards > Henning > > -- > Dipl.-Inf.
