Michael Gerzabek commented on TAPESTRY-1732:
--------------------------------------------
I honestly was impressed how easy it was to setup a project without reading
more than a couple of sentences from the documentation website tutorial
(Chapter 2: Your First Tapestry Application): mvn archetype:create and mvn
jetty:run. Really awesome compared to many other ASF/ other OSS projects!
I didn't know anything about maven then. So while getting on the road with T5 I
also learned to honor the powerful dependency management maven can do. And most
important. My CVS/ SVN is light in sense of MB used by libraries copied into
each and any project like our company did a few years ago.
I also realized that when I have a growing project - e.g. using axis2 now - the
management seems to get a little more complex to eclipse (using 3.3 Europa). I
sometimes now switch off the build automagically option to get away from
waiting for the n th resolution of my build path.
I personally would keep tapestry mavenized. But I could imagine that with a few
goals (don't know if that's the right term) one ant file and the eclipse/ IDE
files could be generated and then in eclipse the maven plugin would not be
needed.

>
> I like Maven dependency management.
> However, it is increasingly evident to me that the Maven approach to the
> actual build, based on endless plugins and configurations, is not worthwhile.
> The only part that's necessary is the Maven Ant tasks, which encapsulate
> downloading dependencies, installing them, and deploying them to remote
> repositories.
> Everything else worthwhile that Maven provides could be created as easily
> using Ant and perhaps a few Velocity templates. I'm willing to bet that the
> end result would work faster and take far less effort to maintain.
