This is the last thing I'll say about maven, I don't want to start a flame war :
Version numbers : how about a manifest file ?? Ant builds are almost always horrific ? Apparently, all example code from Google works out of the box, expect for the maven builds. But surely, my environment is to blame. "why doesn't GWT follow established Maven conventions?" => Maybe the world doesn't revolve around maven ? "GWT likes to do everything in unconventional ways." => maybe the tool of your choice isn't that flexible after all ? People who love Maven, love the theory behind it. And I sure can see the theory too. But this thing got stuck where old school Linux dependency hell once made me loose hair. We were told it is the learning curve back then too!! Yes, I've been running in-house maven repos to fix all that madness. Time I should've spent coding! People who hate Maven, hate the reality it brings. I'm with them. Now start yelling you're doing the *big* projects, and all non-Maven are only doing toy projects. Right, we're the newbies, not aware of the world around us. http://www.alittlemadness.com/2007/08/01/the-problem-with-maven/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.
