Guys, Bottom line (you could probably guess these but it needs to be said):
1. I'll -1 the attempt to switch any project to maven that I have a vote on unless there is a concerted effort to collaborate on a combined effort with centipede. 2. I'll -1 anything that REQUIRES me to use DVSL if I don't want to. So what decides (in the minds of the maven community) whether it is successful... If its that a large set or all of the projects on jakarta/xml/etc use it well then collaboration is the easiest way (it removes my and several others objections). If its to force us all to use your pet projects, well good luck. Its certainly not turning out to be a springboard for collaboration. You want the hearts and minds, then we've outlined it. Work towards collaboration. Work towards standards support. Then you'll reach a consensus. If not, *shrug* then I'm sure some projects will use it, but it will imo kind of be a flop of the goals I assume it wants to achieve. -Andy Berin Loritsch wrote: > Jon Scott Stevens wrote: > >> on 5/2/02 2:54 AM, "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >> wrote: >> >> >>> Centaven Reasoning: I don't see how we can easily do this.
