Thanks for the pointer ... I wasn't aware of that. That being said, it's not clear that a lot of effort should be devoted to the Shale Ant scripts, since Wendy has volunteered to Mavenize them (as long as she can deal with the either-JSF-RI-or-MyFaces requirements -- boy can she be a glutton for punishment sometimes :-).
Yep, I knew that, both that she was Mavenizing it *and* that she can be a glutton for punishment :)
I was hoping you'd continue the Ant scripts... as I said to Wendy a few days ago, it seems like many people are switching to Maven, and I liked being able to point to you and say "hey, Craig isn't using it, I can't be completely wrong in sticking with Ant!" :)
At the end of the day though, it's just like Struts... Whatever my feelings about Maven, if the build works and I don't have to maintain the script, not really a big deal either way.
Even if that weren't the case, though, I'm not positive that, in an Ant-only world, defining external dependencies separately (rather than explicitly in <get> targets as Shale does now) is necessarily a better thing -- but that might also be my long time antipathy to Maven showing through :-).
I know the feeling, I haven't been overly excited about Maven personally. This particular feature though is one that I didn't have an immediate aversion to, and I was happy to find this analogy for Ant... especially for JWP as an example, it cut out over 1MB of download size from the source distro; I definitely appreciate that.
