I wanted to send an email to the Maven developers to invite you all to join an IRC conversation to discuss the standardization of dependency management concepts across projects.
This idea was suggested and discussed briefly on the Jigsaw list. Here are the threads: http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/jigsaw-dev/2011-October/001554.html http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/jigsaw-dev/2011-September/001519.html David Lloyd and I have decided to move this initiative forward and are planning an IRC conversation to discuss this in more detail. Here are the specifics: 10am PDT October 21 ##java-modularity on irc.freenode.net Please join us if you can. Thanks, Brian Pontarelli
