It is pretty common for people to view Maven as the ultimate tar baby. The view is, if the developers use it, everyone else in sight gets forced to use it. This does not turn out to be the case. On the one hand, a completely ant (or otherwise) project can choose to publish its results to the

Maven is just not (yet) for me. I wait for a friendly ASF committer who is willing to do the deployment for us. That is simply the best solution for the FOP team and FOP's maven users. OK, I'm game. Do you have the official 1.0 Maven bits sitting someplace?

I'd generally encourage the use of the ant-to-maven wiring I supplied for maven publication. Adding the ant maven tools to the standard build (or using ivy?) would allow very quick consumption of FOP jars by Maven-built applications, which I guess would be the goal here. On Mon, Sep 6, 2010 at

Glenn, FBOFW, it's clear that a number of core contributors (including the PMC chair!) in fop-land are exceedingly Maven-averse. It's not that rare of a viewpoint in the FOSS community. All that dependency stuff can be done by borrowing maven dependencies in ant, either via the maven ant tools

ASF has centered the infrastructure for CI on Hudson. There are still some projects using other things, but that's where the bulk of the effort and infra support come from. Hudson, in turn, has specific Maven integration. You can run an ant build -- heck, you can run a Makefile and build C++, but

It occurred to me that some might find it congenial to be able to download a .WAR file that drops into Tomcat or Jetty and provides a REST (or, perhaps, SOAP?) web service that runs FOP. Using Apache CXF, this would be a rather straightforward exercise. This would make it easier to set up FOP
