I'm not convinced that Gump and Maven try to adress the same problem domain, but this may be due to my lack of knowledge about Continuum. The main goal of Gump is to build everything against the latest of everything, for some reason I doubt that this is true for Continuum. I expect it more like build everything against the latest released version of everything (or even against the wished for version). > At least 151 of the 400+ projects in public Gump appear to be > Mavenized, so maybe it is just time to throw Apache support fully > behind Maven, convert the rest, and start working cohesively.

It has always been just a hand-full of people actively maintaining it, this probably won't change. It is a little difficult for me to share your frustration. The mere existance of Continuum (once it exists) won't take away any value from Gump. Don't expect Ant to stop development just because Microsoft has come up with a build tool that parsers XML files to run tasks that are nested into targets ... 8-) Stefan --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
