Yep, I'm not sure why maven's pom insists on having the version of a
parent defined. I would have thought it could be inherited. Swings and
roundabouts.
Fourth, adding a project typically requires five lines in Build/
build/build.xml to add it to the correct group and some props. I
might consider moving these props from the build file to a
build.properties and making Build/build/build.xml only specify the
inter-related deps.
I'll grant you one point for the commons-logging versions, but I use
neither ERJGroups or EROpenID. If I were and I'd be bothered, I'd
figure out a way to keep them using only one.
So far we've seen that maven is neither more terse nor more powerful
(at least in a way that would mean something to me).
The other issues I have with it is that I actually *need* the
flexibility in deployment structure. In some projects I *don't* want
all-embedded builds as that stuff goes out of hand with 7 apps*all
the frameworks. The resulting release tops 250M. So I want some of
them embed only some jars. Show me how this works with maven
*without* writing any "goals" or "mojos".
Probably declaring the dependency with scope 'provided' rather than
'compile' will do it.
So in summary, maven may or may not be nice. But I've been building
Wonder with the build files for 7 years now and they haven't really
changed a lot in this time. They do the roughly the same as some
20MB tool chain where you *still* have to write java plugins for.
I'll leave the conclusions to you.
Both work.
