I would like to take this opportunity to thank Stuart McCulloch, who used to work for me and is now a Sonatype employee, for all the help of the many problems I have had with this and previous releases. Without him, I would have given up long time ago. Maven's downside is not lack of a named feature and any trouble described (often recurring) can be answered with "Oh, you just do..." followed by 2 pages of instructions which are barely intuitive unless you are a Maven core developer. > As a side note, I'm using the 3.0-alphaX versions (faster) with qi4j projects > without errors but several warnings that I > know how to fix easily. That's something I could do if you're interested (as > maven 3 will be out soon it should be good > that the 1.0 release is 3.0-friendly). All this if maven stays in the run of > course : ) I am not totally against having Maven as a complementary build available to all the people who are used to it. But, I am getting incredibly frustrated over many other things, especially its extreme tendency to break when you don't have time for it. Somehow, I doubt that Maven 3 solves the underlying problem. FWIW, I don't see any particular reason to give up the module organization or the src/main/java layouts.
