Jon calling me 'hypocrite'....
That is a bit funny, at least after reading his arguments on this thread. ( and how this thread started, and all his actions on this subject ). Well, as I said I will vote -1 on any switch to Maven wherever I have a vote. I never used ( and I don't plan to use ) Anakia - and I voted -1 and I'll keep voting -1 whenever my vote is counted. I do that because I believe standards are essential - even if 'simpler' pet-solutions exist. Standards are the only way to get people to work togheter - and DocBook, HTML, XSLT are the standards. > The next thing to replace jakarta-site2 will be Maven.

I hope another jakarta commiter will join me and second my -1. And I hope you'll not find a way to twist this rule. > Costin, just like with Tomcat 3 vs. Tomcat 4.

You hypocrite. Just like with tomcat 3 and tomcat4, we all learned that you _can_ get people to work togheter, even if they disagree on many things. Coyote is a good example, jasper2 may be another. As long as people like you stay away, at least. > So, if learning DVSL vs. XSLT is beyond your aptitude, I probably would not > have hired you anyway. It's not a matter of learning - but of principles. Respecting and using standards, even if simpler solutions may exist - would be a big argument for me. > have it come out being any good).

Respecting and using standards shows you care about the community and the other people who one way or another will use your code. If reinventing the wheel is what you call 'free thinkers', I'm sorry about you.
