I was wondering if I could use Maven to build ArgoPrint. It would help insure that ArgoPrint has a standardized build, and would make dependency management easier. It would also make it easier to develop ArgoPrint without having to download and maintain an ArgoUML project.
I also noticed that the ArgoUML Installers project is using izpack. If you're using Maven to build your releases, then I'm sure you know about the izpack mojo for Maven. There's also a feature in izpack called web installers http://izpack.org/documentation/advanced-features.html#web-installers which would make it easier for users to install ArgoUML modules. I was wondering if anyone was using this feature with regard to installing ArgoUML, and what would need to be done to add ArgoPrint to the izpack installation?
