Hi all Maven users! I'm beginning a study to outline the real reasons that people have for avoiding Maven. My questions to you all are: What were your anxieties about using Maven? If you use Maven: what helped you make the decision? If you don't: why did you avoid it?
Here are some that I have heard in the past: * Lack of good documentation. * Community unwilling to help me with my problems. * Not "industry supported" or "mainstream" enough. * I don't like conforming to the Maven project layout. * My project is too complex to switch. * There are not enough plugins available. * We already have a large investement in tool X. * I have to build native/non-Java code. Any more reasons? Care to expand these ideas? Thanks for your help! ____ Eric Redmond http://codehaus.org/~eredmond
