Robert and I have gone over this a fair amount in previous exchanges I think, if you really want to know particulars. Suffice it to say, the problems so far have not been large, it feels like the likelihood of future larger problems is growing, if you ask people that seem to like/care about Maven support, the problems are probably not really a problem or easily addressable, if you ask people that dislike/don't want Maven, the problems are probably just not worth ever having to run into when we are still convinced this could be handled downstream. If I remember right, a large reason Robert is against is that he doesn't want to sign/support/endorse something he doesn't understand or care about as a Release Manager? But thats probably a major simplification of his previous arguments. And the pro Maven team has offered their counters to that. - Mark --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@lucene.apache.org
