Have you tried Maven 2?
Being a Maven evangelist myself, I have followed along with the
announcements and I even have the latest beta installed on my box,
but I haven't had much of a chance to play with it.
I just wonder how complete the plugins are for it. Maven 1.x has had
a long time to accumulate and perfect many more plugins than I could
ever use in this lifetime.
If the basic set of plugins (and their dependencies) are good to go,
then I might make an effort to ramp up on M2.

I see that Wendy is using Maven 1.x. Are there any plans to move
it to Maven 2?

Thanks for the pointer ... I wasn't aware of that. That being
said, it's not
clear that a lot of effort should be devoted to the Shale Ant
scripts, since
Wendy has volunteered to Mavenize them (as long as she can deal
with the
either-JSF-RI-or-MyFaces requirements -- boy can she be a glutton for
punishment sometimes :-).
Yep, I knew that, both that she was Mavenizing it *and* that she
can be
a glutton for punishment :)
I was hoping you'd continue the Ant scripts... as I said to Wendy a
few
days ago, it seems like many people are switching to Maven, and I
liked
being able to point to you and say "hey, Craig isn't using it, I can't
be completely wrong in sticking with Ant!" :)
At the end of the day though, it's just like Struts... Whatever my
feelings about Maven, if the build works and I don't have to maintain
the script, not really a big deal either way.
Even if that weren't the case, though, I'm not positive that, in
an Ant-only
world, defining external dependencies separately (rather than
explicitly in
<get> targets as Shale does now) is necessarily a better thing --
but that
might also be my long time antipathy to Maven showing through :-).
I know the feeling, I haven't been overly excited about Maven
personally. This particular feature though is one that I didn't
have an
immediate aversion to, and I was happy to find this analogy for Ant...
especially for JWP as an example, it cut out over 1MB of download size
from the source distro; I definitely appreciate that.
