Just a few points: * If Maven support is the most wanted and voted issue on JIRA is due to *REAL* necessity. * Maven is *crucial* for all people using Flex in enterprise enviroments. In many IT departments maven is core, and is not optional. If Apache Flex does not have maven support, it will not be used. And that's means the dead of Flex. * Maven will bring lots of new users to Apache Flex. * People using maven with flexmojos + Adobe Flex 4.x SDK will be stuck in that configuration unless we deliver apache flex artifacts that will make more easy the effort to migrate.
and most important for all people anti-maven: * If you don't like Maven and don't want to use it...don't do it! Use ANT instead or other build ways, but please, don't bother in maven threads and respect other people's needs. As a side note I never use Gradle and would like to test it, but I think maven support is the first step before Gradle.
