Quoting Xavier Hanin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
People seemed interested, and there is a question occuring pretty
frequently in ApacheCon: could we get closer to maven, and either
reuse stuff from their code base, or the other way around, use Ivy as
the dependency management engine for Maven.
This is something interesting IMO, but another hand I don't think we
are big enough for the moment to get enough energy to go int his
direction. I'd prefer to first concentrate on building a rock solid
2.0 version with even better ant integration, and then once we get
graduated and released, see if we can concentrate energy on this
focus... unless someone want to contribute stuff in this direction.
+1
I for one would vote for the Ant+Ivy bundling - maybe not the default
distribution but some "deluxe edition" or something :-). I'm not sure
how much value Ivy can contribute to Maven, on the other hand.
Dependency/repository management isn't the weakness of Maven.
