I attended the Spring One conference a few weeks ago and Gradle was a very hot topic.
http://www.theserverside.com/news/thread.tss?thread_id=49165 I also avoid maven where possible. I find when it saves me time, it only saved me a few hours at most, but when it gets in my way, it's days of trying to figure out what happened. I will say having a "pom" that lists each dependency (and hopefully it's version) is a nice "feature", but Maven attempts to do too much. The author of Gradle spoke at the conference and was _really_ impressive. Probably one of the best speakers there. Also, a "major" maven contributor was in the audience and he left the session saying "we (maven) and to look at what Gradle does and reassess our future." For now, I still just put a LIB dir at the root of my app and import the iText.jar Jason -----Original Message----- From: 1T3XT info [mailto:i...@1t3xt.info] Sent: Tuesday, November 23, 2010 4:04 AM To: Stefan Thurnherr; Post all your questions about iText here Subject: Re: [iText-questions] When will 5.0.5 be available in maven.itextpdf.com ?
