Steve, I've had mixed reports about maven from other teams/projects I've worked on. Some of them found/find it quite constraining and overly complex for simply getting a build/release package. I can't see the harm in asking other teams on Apache what they think.
I will post all feedback, good/bad/indifferent - and hadn't intended to imply otherwise, and haven't suggested distrust. I'm not playing games and have been neither insulting nor divisive in my postings. Tired of being flamed :-( Marnie On 11/22/06, Steve Vinoski <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

Are you implying that you're then going to revert the entire trunk back to ant? That's why I find your message divisive and insulting -- it implies a significant level of distrust of your fellow Qpid committers. If you have issues with maven, it would be much more in the spirit of fostering a non-dysfunctional Qpid dev community to share them here, rather than implying that you're unhappy with maven, not telling us why, and then attempting to back your claims by using a poll to find other like-minded individuals from outside this project. So let's stop with the games and be honest: what don't you like about maven, and why? --steve > > Marnie > > > On 11/22/06, John O'Hara <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> >> Perhaps poorly phrased by Marnie. >> >> My view is that we're collectively committed to Maven. >> >> Also, no matter how much experience some of us have on Maven, its >> always >> worthwhile getting a bit more :o) >> >> John >> >> On 21/11/06, Steve Vinoski <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> > >> > >> > On Nov 21, 2006, at 6:03 AM, Marnie McCormack wrote: >> > >> > > Hi All, >> > > >> > > FYI I've asked the Geronimo, MINA and Tapestry team to give us >> some >> > > feedback >> > > on their experiences with maven.
