maven ant:build == maven ant:ant == maven ant it's all the same with me except for typing.
I still don't get why simply 'maven ant' wouldn't do. We are dealing with naming 'conventions' here. People follow them or they don't. If they don't use the ant goal in the ant plugin as the default goal for the plugin then they break convention and we kickem' in the arse with a frozen boot. Anxious to understand why it must be pluginname:goalname for the default goal... -Peter ----- Original Message ----- From: "James Strachan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Turbine Maven Developers List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, July 11, 2002 11:56 PM Subject: Re: About plugin names ... > Just a thought.
