Hmmm, well here's my view, the only ones where Maven makes sense are the JVM based drivers. Most of the JVM based ones can be simplified down to the JDBC driver... and as Eric is the driver of the JDBC driver and Eric's opinions on Maven are well known... >> P.S. >> I will wait to be asked for my opinion on how this could be addresses >> using Maven as a build tool. > > Is that, "Through the use of copious amounts of XML markup, storage, > and network bandwidth?". :) > Meh, the XML would be an order of magnitude less than the current ANT build script. Storage... well it depends which storage you are talking about, it would be a choice of storage in .svn or storage in ~/.m2 Network bandwidth... only if people follow poor -SNAPSHOT strategies and are constantly deploying -SNAPSHOTs to the remote repo.... > Sorry, I couldn't resist.
