Making Lift as easy as possible to get started with and keep going with is the priority. Maven gives us this. Yes, the one line you have to copy/paste is a bear, but once you've typed that, things work remarkably well with Maven. Having to install Jruby, is yet another barrier, yet another thing to support, etc. At this point, we're official only supporting Lift with Maven. We've got limited resources and this is where we're putting them. Maven is mature, works well in most cases, and integrates with IDEs very effectively. I expect in 6-12 months, we'll deprecate Maven in favor of sbt, but not today. There may be other folks on the list that have other build environments that they use with Lift and I encourage them to share/help out. > > sincerely. > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Lift" group. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > [email protected]<liftweb%[email protected]> > . > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/liftweb?hl=en. > > -- Lift, the simply functional web framework http://liftweb.net Beginning Scala http://www.apress.com/book/view/1430219890 Follow me: http://twitter.com/dpp Surf the harmonics -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Lift" group.
