I am not sure what you mean by releases support ... Publication of projects/modules (in integration, milestone, release status) is able to do in Ivy easy. The question is if support in Maven2 is so great that I can not do it in other way with less time. I think that if I want to do something little different that Maven2 supports out of box without special configuration I will loose more time then I would spend using specialized tools for that purpose - project web site, docmentation, dependency management, publication of project artifacts in repositories ... Thats what I think (but may be I am wrong :) Tapestry, Spring ... is using Maven2. Is it so great ? There will be (or was) so much trouble with that ... P.

If you're going to comment in here then I guess you're asking for it ;) If all I wanted to do was dependency management I might very well think Ivy is a great tool. Sadly we need to do a lot more than that. Like documentation / releases / etc. I'm not feeling like Ivy is going to help me there. In a perfect world I'd like to have maven2 using the "advertised" Ivy dependency management logic. Have you guys considered donating that logic back ?
