maven thoughts

- anyone who's worked on a large
project over time has seen the build
scripts grow in complexity and maintenance
costs

- maven, like many solutions, introduces
a domain-specific-language to simplify
things, or in mavens case, a domain
specific XML schema

- I usually cringe when I see a new dsl.
just one more unnatural thing to learn

- however in practice, I've seen maven
greatly simplify and standardize
large scale development (dozens
of developers working together on dozens
of projects)

- as always - UTRTFTJ use the right
tool for the job

- as for app engine, I don't use a build script.
stand-alone eclipse works fine with
a few developers on a project
