One of Maven's values is that it "does the heavy lifting for you". (as it's literature describes.)
But that is also exactly the problem - because it is sometimes hard to tell what is going on. You need to keep the Maven cycle in mind at all times - and that does add another level of indirection. As a build engineer I am often getting complicated Maven poms from developers and then I gotta decipher what is happening. With Ant - it's a lot more transparent. I am not criticizing maven (then we'd be talking about the painful bugs), but I do think that it is fair to say that it is harder to understand what is happening... --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
