I just thought I'd throw this out there: If you want to see a great reason to use Maven, try making a Hudson plugin. http://wiki.hudson-ci.org/display/HUDSON/Plugin+tutorial Everything you need (dependencies, testing, sample code) is downloaded automatically and it just works.
In my personal experience the tooling (specifically IDE integration) just recently got to the point where I can start using Maven for everything (thanks to Q4E now Eclipse IAM). Having a local proxy (I use Archiva) makes a huge difference for stability. Now the Maven pom.xml is now more of a lingua franca .project (or netbeans / intellij equivelant) than just a build system. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
