Can you elaborate on what this will facilitate in Maven?
Employing a more widely used DI mechanism (Geronimo, OpenEJB) that
provides constructor injection, factory beans and full support for
generics. I looked at Guice and XBean reflect. Guice cannot support
what we do as it only does annotations, and Dain wanted to do the work
in this first phase and Paul/Mauro will also help when we get to the
next stage which is merging all of this with Pico. It's part of
getting XBR, Pico, and Plexus all cooperating. XBR also seamlessly
integrated in a completely non-invasive way which is pretty
impressive. I didn't have to make a single change in Maven, and no one
will have to make a single change in any Plexus component or Maven
plugin which is really quite amazing. So we can go forward with many
more features that XBR provides without violating any existing
contracts. Dain just made it all work.
I'm frankly excited as it injects some new blood into the core of
Maven. We'll now have Dain and David to help on very core issues, and
when Pico enters the mix we'll have Paul and Mauro.
