This is a matter of principle, and IMHO, vision. Plugins like these are like "swiss knives" and allows hacking, in effect, like Ant or other tools allow it (and makes Maven hackable just line one would do with Ant). Maven IMHO should be more like "set of Un*x tools" instead: set of battle tested (but also simple) plugins, that do few things, but do them well. If someone is akin for "swiss knife" plugins like these, for me is clear sign that they want to even widen their "hacking", that is IMHO another sign, they should be using Gradle, Ant or whatever else. Maven is a _declarative build system_. And I did not even mention the reasons Robert brought up.... (plus multitude of other reasons). -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
