> uglier than make files It should be noted that makefiles, done properly, are also declarative. They don't have as good encapsulation around "plug-ins", or as many canned solutions available off the shelf, and they aren't platform-independent. But if anything they are *more* dependency driven, since they rely solely on artifact dependency rather than phase or module dependency. In fact the use of the latter. combined with the inconsistencies from plugin to plugin over things that could be core behaviors, suggests that Maven is working but not yet achieving its stated philosophy. Which is OK, as long as folks recognize that it may getting toward time to gather the lessons learned and consider breaking changes to bring everything back in line -- another major-version release. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
