I don't believe there is any one project in the company that has 100 developers, but it is early days and I could be proved wrong. But I doubt it :).
Thanks Lakshman -----Original Message----- From: Ralph Goers [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, 1 November 2007 2:33 PM To: Maven Developers List Subject: Re: Article on Maven Usage As Brett said this is kind of tough. I work for a large company and if I had to guess I'd say that the 100 maven users number is being met. But that is on lots of projects across a fairly large company. Many of these projects are dependent on each other but are only tied to each other through the Maven repository and the web sites the projects publish. In a way, this isn't very different then saying each of your in-house projects are treated much like the projects at Apache - they are just other things you are dependent on. If you were to count the development teams involved in those you are easily over 100 developers in those projects alone. Do you really have a single project with 100+ developers - or is it really a bunch of subprojects with their own development teams?
