Hi all +1 for Git
About Maven, it will be a very good move also. There is tons of projects inside ASF using Maven as their build tool. There is also so many projects using Tomcat artefacts, hosted on Central, that it will make their life easier if Maven was used has main build tool for Tomcat. One of Tomcat number one user, TomEE project, would certainly be more than happy to see Tomcat Mavenized. There is really tons of goods things in Maven, and when it's release time, Maven Release Plugin, is a safe and fast approach. One of our members, Olivier Lamy, worked on a Maven layout for Tomcat, outside Tomcat trunk and it worked well. And you should all know Olivier enough to know is mastering in Maven area, so you'll never be alone or stuck. So please, "ne jetez pas la bébé avec l'eau du bain", and take sometime to reconsider positivly using Maven for Tomcat. 2014/1/21 Violeta Georgieva <miles...@gmail.com>: > 2014/1/21 Mark Thomas <ma...@apache.org> >> >> I've been using Git more and more for Tomcat development and was >> wondering what folks thought about moving Tomcat to git.
