I agree with Gary's comments even though I am certainly on the pro-maven side of the issue..
if someone cares enough about it, it will get done if I was using cassandra via a maven build I would have already contributed the time to get the maven aspects of this in place, its not a tremendous amount of work...but I am working in ant lands for the time being so it hasn't been much of a priority its all volunteer effort (or corporate sponsored effort, whatever the case may be) so if someone cares enough about doing it, they'll do it. From what I have seen the dev's are not particularly motivated to support maven better so they haven't, that is their prerogative. They have done more then some projects in saying they are not adverse to having it done if someone else does it..:) cheers, jesse -- jesse mcconnell jesse.mcconn...@gmail.com On Fri, Apr 9, 2010 at 08:40, Ryan Daum <r...@thimbleware.com> wrote: > On Fri, Apr 9, 2010 at 9:21 AM, Gary Dusbabek <gdusba...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> >> >> I disagree that every project should do things the mvn way for the >> sake of making things easier for mvn users. > > > I'm sorry, do you not see the hypocrisy of saying this while referring to a > project that retrieves its transitive dependencies from Maven repositories? > > Ryan >
