In short, we switched to Maven2 earlier this year. At first it seemed appealing to have standardization, and we were willing to learn what we needed to make it work for us. We got the basic stuff to work, used many plug-ins, and wrote a few as well. What we found is that we never really got over the struggling, though. The struggles continued every time we wanted to extend our build process in some way. What seemed like it should take only 5 mintues, pretty much always took us much longer. The documentation is so poor, we found we had the learn more about the black magic (aka convention) than we wanted to just to understand what it was doing -- so much for the ease of convention over configuration. We opted to go back to Ant where we could plainly see what was going on. In a work, Ant+Ivy is simple, transparent, and flexible. We now get stuff done in 5 minutes again. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Extremely-Slow-to-Resolve-tf4622650.html#a13220377 Sent from the ivy-user mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
