I hear you, I'm just not that concerned with how close we stick to
maven syntax since what we're doing here is in many cases quite
different from what maven does. For example, if I want to force the
CORBA ORB to be started before my EJB app is deployed, I don't think
"naturally, I should use Maven for that!", but that's one of the
things these elements are used for. I would much rather have clear
and easy syntax for what *we* want to do.
Thanks,
