I think both projects have nice advantages and features. Maven has good documentation. Centipede is easier to setup and is a bit more advanced in the way it generates documentation. Its a bit alpha but I think the code generation stuff in centipede shows some promise. I can personally vouch it works great for lazy people who don't want to type too much if they don't have too. I kinda don't lik the way the feather looks against the sold color on the Maven home page. Centipedes multiple skins are kinda nice. Maven has nicer names for things.
As for dog food. I tend to be anti-quibble over pedantics. I could give a rats behind what build everyone uses. But set the record straight. Centipede was developed primarily BY Apache committers, primarily to the requirements of Apache projects and the just happens to be hosted elsewhere. Largely because of the politics (read: so Jon wouldn't have a fit) and the projects who it was developed for/out of don't really want to host a *build* project. For us its secondary. I don't see POI converting. Centipede more precisely fits our needs. And even if it didn't we've got bigger fish to fry (read: formulas, graphs and word doc format). So why I applaud the effort. I really think the marketing campaign could be a bit more low key and pragmatic. Just my opinion...maybe I should read my tagline again before expressing it. Flame away. -Andy On Tue, 2002-04-30 at 18:02, Jon Scott Stevens wrote: > on 4/30/02 2:46 PM, "Nicola Ken Barozzi" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Krysalis Centipede: > > http://www.sf.net/projects/krysalis/ > > > > Site using Centipede: > > http://jakarta.apache.org/poi/ > > > > You make the decision. > > To me, the decision is simple: > > Krysalis isn't our own dog food. > > I would far rather see whatever Krysalis has incorporated into Maven because > Maven is here, not there.
