Currently, WO/Wonder development is all about snapshots, so you don't have to worry about that. If you like the current WO way of doing releases (which is just ignoring versions at all) do everything with snaphsots and use the pom.xml as a build.xml. As for myself, I think that's a bad development practice and Maven helps you kick it — *if* you want to. >> And it's so much simpler than the 200+ lines of procedural code every single >> simple little WO application requires to even build with Ant. > > But you don't have to mess with that. That's because it's a glorified shell script used to invoke javac, and doesn't do anything interesting. Unlike pom.xml, where every line is meaningful. - hugi _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.
