Hi Sean, I've been using Lift + Buildr for a while now and I'm pretty happy with both.
See some comments below. On Mon, Apr 20, 2009 at 5:53 AM, Sean Reque <seanre...@gmail.com> wrote: > =begin > Differences between maven pom.xml and this buildr file: > > 1.

This is a documented requirement for the Buildr Scala support. http://buildr.apache.org/languages.html#scala Unlike the Maven2 plugin, Buildr relies on your local Scala installation instead of downloading the Scala jars from a repo. Both approaches have advantages/disadvantages. > > 2.

I tend to use an external Jetty with an exploded war<http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/BUILDR/How+to+explode+a+.war+file>. I find this easier to setup a separate Jetty configuration (e.g., memory, environment, datasources, commons jars, javarebel, etc.) and basically use the same environment for development and production. I also have a fork <http://github.com/aboisvert/liftweb/tree/buildr> of Lift where I builld everything through buildr, although some tests still fail (I believe mostly related to Jetty continuations so must be an environment setup issue) and I still have a push a few things to it... Not enough time right now to play with Lift... alex --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Lift" group.
