I continue to be in favor of a best-practices Maven build system for Struts, and will help "make it so" The Jakarta folks have a different spin on voting, but many other Apache projects tend to "vote" the way Craig just did: On Fri, 08 Oct 2004 19:29:15 -0700, Craig McClanahan wrote: > I won't stand in the way of a migration to Maven if the other > developers want to build and maintain the system ... but I'm > personally going to generate build.xml files for the subprojects > for my own personal use, and I'm gonna be unhappy if that doesn't > work because of dramatically customized Maven builds. In a volunteer project, the best way to "vote" is with your commits. (Arguably, a commit is the only true vote.) There's no reason why we can't have both Ant scripts and Maven build files, so long as we have committers who will create and maintain them. We could vote until doomsday about what we might do, but nothing matters until someone actually does something. I'm sure Craig will do some Ant scripts, and if he commits them, that would be great, since I'm sure there will be some people who would want to use them too. Meanwhile, I'm sure that others (like me) will finish what we started with the Maven builds, and we'll have those too. At some point, we might want to vote whether the "official" build is by Maven or by Ant. But we can't really do that until both are in place. -Ted. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
