I don't think anyone is for or against this until we have a better understanding of what is involved. There was some discussion and work towards this a couple of years ago. Check the dev list archives from July 2005. There's also some discussion in the issue database. Search for 'maven' and especially see http://argouml.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3324 There is a list of Maven group ids at http://argouml-downloads.tigris.org/maven2/. I'm not sure where (or if) these are used. > 1) What's the best way of submitting contributions? Patches are best. These can be attached to an issue to provide some context, but you should be actively working with a core developer so that the patch doesn't languish and become stale before it gets applied. > 2) Are there any things I should consider when writing Maven > configuration for argouml? We need to build both from the command line and from Eclipse. We need to run on multiple platforms. We need to work within the framework of the Tigris web site. Maven should make things easier, not harder, or offer benefits which outweigh its cost. ArgoUML is fragmented into a bunch of subprojects, so this needs to be taken into account. ArgoUML depends on external components which may not have Maven versions. This may lead to a cascade of additional effort. There are probably more things to consider. Review some of the previous discussions for some ideas on what they might be. The main person to convince is the build meister, Linus Tolke, who is on vacation right now, so you may need to wait until he gets back for any final decisions, but you can certainly work on refining your proposal in the mean time.
