-------------------------------------------------------------------
[[email protected]] Joe, I completely agree - transitioning to Maven is no
small feat and represents a significant shift. However, the benefits are hard
to ignore: streamlined dependency management, automatic vulnerability scanning
with standard tools, and a much-needed push toward clean modularisation. (For
instance, IntelliJ is already flagging conflicts between XercesImpl and JDK
offering the same APIs (e.g. xml-apis) in the
[MultiSchemaValidator|https://github.com/xmlark/msv/pull/23]).
Moreover, having sources and tests in a standardised directory structure -
rather than split across branches like they were two years ago - would
drastically improve maintainability. To get to the point: if I were to develop
a Maven-based prototype, would the team be open to it? I know the community has
been hesitant in the past, but is there more appetite for change now?
I do not want to start a side project that will never be accepted. I know the
community has been hesitant in the past, but is there more appetite for change
now?
