> There should much more documentation in plexus xdocs. No there shouldn't. Although there is a plexus user that wants to work on documentation there is a specific reason that I haven't written any and that is strictly to keep 99.99% of anyone looking at it from using it. Sounds paradoxical but true. Although it is very stable there are pieces that I want to change or rework and I'm not looking for any user base at the moment. With what is there I have found 10 or so people who develop with plexus and who have navigated the terrain just fine on their own and understand what's there. I'm getting very good feedback from that small group while I'm still focused on some design and testing. I am not interested in those who don't understand at this point. You could call it an intentional guauntlet if you like. For those who have navigated what's there and have asked intelligent questions I have an ardent respect for. These people ask questions that help shape what plexus will become. I don't have many users of plexus yet, but the one's that I have provide what I'm looking for currently. There is usually a high level of interaction with these people: a lot of email discussions, irc chats and at this point that I see as a better investment of my time than writing documentation. Documentation is critical, I agree. But it is hard to write and not something I'm ready to do with plexus. As with most things I do, I'm not looking to convince you to use plexus. Use what you like. In the future most people will know about plexus by way of Maven. Most people will probably use plexus without knowing it. Even on the maven side of things just having one other person understand plexus is really all I need right now. Michal jumped in and pretty much figured out plexus in a day or two and was writing components in pretty short order. We've bounced tons of ideas around, played with some prototypes (which started in maven-new) and thrown some out. Again, it's somewhat like a guauntlet. I know who knows what. -- jvz.
