I agree on the Maven mojo programming. Anything to simplify custom build "scripts" would be great, so SBT sounds like an interesting idea. I didn't mean to imply that it was a bad idea, just that you don't need all of the "-Ds" :) Derek On Mon, Oct 6, 2008 at 9:46 AM, Tim Perrett <[EMAIL PROTECTE

Hey Derek, I know about this command :-) My observation (of my friend at least) is that his reaction was "holy- cow, i need to learn this build tool, a new language and a new framework". The language and framework part you cant get away from invariably but perhaps we can do something on the buil

There's no *requirement* to use all of the "-D" stuff. If you just do mvn -U archetype:generate you actually get a nice list of archetypes, two of which are: 31: internal -> lift-archetype-blank (A blank/empty liftweb project) 32: internal -> lift-archetype-basic (The basic (liftweb) project) I

I took a quick look at it. like make, ant, builr the main issue I've got with it's it require scala to be installed and to don't manage the version of scala use to build you're project. And I suspect it could only build scala-project that used the same version as the tools itself. But I pro a new

god no, I dont want to replace maven :-) There is talk of SBT having rake type functionality in the not too distant future, so that was more what I was thinking. I appreciate that maven can do all that stuff but from a beginer perspective its pretty difficult for them to learn. I recently persua

I don't see a downside to providing an alternative build system to people who are very Maven-averse (as long as I don't have to maintain it!, heh) But yeah, replacing Maven at this point seems unwise, unless there are very compelling reasons. --j On Sun, Oct 5, 2008 at 12:15 PM, David Pollak
