But the way, some of the leaf dependency projects that we manage (IICR Swidgets, Toolbar and maybe GEF, I'm not sure about the latter) were migrated. One of the problems with migrating is that what we already have a working system, with a relatively complex build process that *works*. So changing that is not very simple, and adds no value to final users. If we follow that way, I'd expect migrating the svn folder structure to the common practices in mvn, and this adds more possible problems to the migration. I'm +0 about this, because we should use our *very limited* resources on things that add value to our users. Mvn improves the software ecosystem and promotes best practices, and I definitely will use it in any new project, but I'm not sure if it's worth the effort if we look at how many changes are required in a build system that already works. > ------------------------------------------------------ > > http://argouml.tigris.org/ds/viewMessage.do?dsForumId=450&dsMessageId=2589165 > > To unsubscribe from this discussion, e-mail: [ > [email protected]]. > To be allowed to post to the list contact the mailing list moderator, > email: [[email protected]] > -- Cheers, Christian López Espínola <penyaskito> ------------------------------------------------------ http://argouml.tigris.org/ds/viewMessage.do?dsForumId=450&dsMessageId=2589179 To unsubscribe from this discussion, e-mail: [[email protected]].
