Quoting Christian Bauer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

> I'll do it. We don't need any Maven praising here...

Folks,

Whats wrong with Maven?

Seriously, I'm not trying to start a flame war or promote dissention from
within, but what are your gripes?  I'm trying to get a valued opinion before
possibly incorporating it into my own projects...

In the (brief) evaluation I've done of the product, I've found it to be
incredibly powerful, relieving the drudgery of ant tasks that so many projects
must execute (especially open-source ones).  The automagic jar file dependency
checking/downloading alone seems worth it, given all the problems teams and
end-users face with dealing with dependencies (which is directly related to
this thread).  As a computer scientist, it is almost infused in my psyche to
avoid re-inventing the wheel for commonly executed tasks.  Maven does this (or
at least comes closer than anything I've seen for PCM).

What are your thoughts?  I'm trying to get an intelligent response here...not
Christian's typical condescending "Maven is the spawn of Satan" response :)

Regards,

Les Hazlewood
