If a build can be described as a small number of facts, XML is an
unobjectional representation for those facts. If a POM fits on a page,
verbosity of XML is just not an issue.
Yeah, but a build often does not fit on a page, and I'm building some pretty
simple stuff!

Nope, no patents/fascination with Prolog. It's just that Maven declares itself
to be declarative rather than procedural, and if those terms mean what they
usually mean, I can't think why it would have gone to the trouble of spinning
an entirely new system, only to ignore, what, 30 years'?, of

Many of you will know me from the Maven is a swamp thread :-) I don't
disagree with that, but I am willing to concede that maven can be used to do
some very powerful thing--in the right hands. I fear, those hands are (not yet)

Here is my problem. I have a library (an OO wrapping around

Drawback of using a Python/YAML like solution is code completion.

Hi all,
First of all, just for those that aren't familiar, Scala is one of the family
of languages that compiles to JVM bytecode. Arguably the most sophisticated of
them.
I can't run my Scala unit tests with Maven (the unit test suite I'm using uses
