Subject: Re: Eclipse .project & .classpath files (is he talking about Maven
again?!?!?!)
I'm willing to discuss the Maven option but I think we need to get Ant
working short term. James, its cool to work on your maven stuff just
be aware that the project is going to shift around these next couple
of days.

Hi James,
Thanks for the feed-back. Good point about Eclipse touching the
files. Other option is putting the files into a subdirectory as we
used to have them. Also I could just post them on the wiki as you are
thinking of doing with the POM.
My issue with maven is upkeep. If we have the ant build that everyone
else is using and a POM for maven that only some are using there will
be stuff that goes stale.
Getting a maven generated .project & .classpath is a major win of
using maven agreed. I believe the maven/ant discussion has been
beaten to death on this list though and I for one don't want to open
that up again ;-)
TTFN,
