I didn't say it before (saved as draft)... but I'd encourage you to create this Prolog-based build system in your free time over the next few months [perhaps use the time you'd otherwise be writing rants about Maven, you'll have it built in no time :)] and if "the community" decides it is a superior system for building Java (and other language) applications, the forces of natural selection and evolution will win out and Maven will die a quiet death at the hands of your Prolog-builder. PS- What's the fascination with Prolog? Do you own patents in Prolog and get paid every time someone compiles or runs a Prolog application... or merely mentions it in an email? :D Wayne --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
