More importantly, are those that adhere to this school of thought seeking a solution in Maven to make addendence compulsory? If my I want to use external resources in my projects, shouldn't we create me a place in the Maven directory structure where I can pursue my folly? I appreciate that Maven seeks to establish best practices in project structure, I just don't think this argument is one that Maven needs to resolve. -- Alain Javier Guarnieri del Gesu - [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
