and should be maintained by the respective project communities. I already went searching what Gump could offer me in terms of available data, but Gump is for obvious reasons limited to Jakarta and XML (Java) projects. Adding the Gump people to add a 'keyword' element to their descriptors wouldn't cause too much harm, but the problem is that I also store the project hierarchy in my data file, and this is slightly orthogonal to Gump's structure. So adding extra data to Gump's descriptors would help, but not enough and not for everybody (including perl/php/...)
It would really be nice if the Maven/Gump/Forrest/Trove/etc. descriptors could be converged. With a base vocabulary that all can share, and an ability to have namespace qualified tool extensions.

P.S. Gump is capable of running anything that can be run via the command line and produces output to stdout/stderr.
