-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 You know... with everything Maven (and now Maven 2) can do, the one thing it isn't designed to do is just build. <don't flame me on that until you read on>
On one hand, it's great to only have that one copy of log4j-1.2.8.jar on your system - let maven have it and be done with it. What it can do is really remarkable if you look at it. But on the other hand - being able to download a source zip and build without internet - and without already having a sizable repository containing everything that might be needed by that source zip is just so darned - nice. Don't give Maven "instructions" in a source zip - give me what I need to build it - and I'm happy. And if this means I've got 10 log4j-1.2.8.jar files? Plus a couple log4j-1.2.9.jar files? Eh... drive space is cheap. Granted, my perception is coming from SCM in a "completely net-off" environment so my Maven 'enjoyment' revolved around getting files off ibiblio manually and having them inspected before being able to manually build a repository where it was needed. I just get chills when I hear that phrase "Maven <2> takes care of the rest". And on the other hand............... (yes, that's three hands if you're counting) Cool. :-) Hopefully there will come to be a single place for all things tapestry. I understand the multitude - Tacos, Tassel, JavaForge and the like - but it gets a bit distracting for such a "componentized" framework to have so many places to go for so many different pieces. Now. Back in my box.
