Reading again the refered thread seems to me that there where more questions than answer and no real concerns on the thread. I cannot find a true real reason to NOT use maven. As I told before, people mature and things changes over the time. Perhaps now, that we are closer to real blocks, we can now give a try to maven. Now, I can add a new +1 to maven: "better jars repo management". I thought again in that and now I believe maven could help us here too. ;-) All in all, I guess other people will like to see some simple demo in a block before going to a vote. Ralph, please write a maven build file for one of the new moved blocks and show us the light! ;-) Best Regards, Antonio Gallardo
