My experience with Maven has been minimal. To add my own impressions: - - You must go all-in on Maven or you will be fighting everything all the time. - - If your dependencies don't have Maven artifacts, it's a PITA (which is why we constantly get questions about Maven builds, artifacts, etc.) - - Once you embrace the Dark Side, almost everything "just works" - - When things don't "just work" it is nearly impossible to figure out wh y I don't know if it still exists, but all the Maven people I know say "you can always use the ant-plug-in for Maven if you still want to use ant for parts of your build, but you really should use a custom plug-in for whatever you need". So I guess the question is "has anyone written a Maven plug-in that builds a Windows installer?" - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - https://www.enigmail.net/ iQIzBAEBCAAdFiEEMmKgYcQvxMe7tcJcHPApP6U8pFgFAl4cxvAACgkQHPApP6U8 pFidOg/+JUuf9IGvnJYXQ+xbr6GbG7GQ0JzxREKEZ55SJv1gbGIBqiP8L2rYKk1x HqNZ0f41p/+Hm1R17dAiJgV+LnuuUJkRdNxbwooqkmIKhCKd+44KXd7YgM1QfrJR yq5/jD9rZY2HDkp4jC/5FZYSwCYEJFCL1vfwMBuuj9mSXK9Z3Yr278E05T+QrCAL tgH3aXMQ8thIHK+gw1lbUhiyuBIEgwKhL5y1jEuAPGmZmf64d1R9R9QyEl6DO8Rz UPsNZp53OSHOnwX+keAiKmFQfdKyqcVHywDZd2QQ4KutYvuZ+LjtK6ZDGpTS7yIH 6VRpjWFzXqT3YObmwvxzfmQrTD5vWHrRF/DOoqMtrN0WsDHl+NwOtDyzUmrw07WA /42TQGG8yzMNsPLYbmEr0Yf954C05ipHvZIePyBjBGA1gFLKDOcrbORjGB1WRX2O lvvwCTSZYiU0GZjTShKfcAB6tQo0bB7CpEcTOYRJaAMhI14dNGz3I1l4VWcI8Uoq ZyAAkIeuuUTDrMOXSls5F0zCyxOelPgCc5bNHVlTxSrSUo2omslscQ8uNMdWEC8y KvOUgj7TkKF5H919kBz9HJez0AiOQCyepS61NtHe9ggpcCfPtRVwcUqbbl/e+38o J2L7FD7Ysx6ZjfpVL6IVFn8OyIMbKxnGhpkvz5uwApD3gK9knsM= =ixxg -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@tomcat.apache.org
