If he thought that, he would have removed maven from svn by now! From my point of view, but perhaps I misremember: At some point, Grant or someone put in some Maven poms. I don't think anyone else really paid attention. Later, as we did releases, and saw and dealt with these poms, most of us commented against Maven support. It just feels to me like it slipped in - and really its the type of thing that should have been more discussed and thought out, and perhaps voted upon. Maven snuck into Lucene IMO. To my knowledge, the majority of core developers do not want maven in the build and/or frown on dealing with Maven. We could always have a little vote to gauge numbers - I just have not wanted to rush to another vote thread myself ;) Users are important too - but they don't get official votes - it's up to each of us to consider the User feelings/vote in our opinions/votes as we see fit IMO. - Mark --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@lucene.apache.org
