The bridge should be created in Maven in order to pull user specific information and feed it into Maven SCM. > > -- jvz. Jason van Zyl jason at maven.org http://maven.apache.org People develop abstractions by generalizing from concrete examples. Every attempt to determine the correct abstraction on paper without actually developing a running system is doomed to failure. No one is that smart. A framework is a resuable design, so you develop it by looking at the things it is supposed to be a design of. The more examples you look at, the more general your framework will be. -- Ralph Johnson & Don Roberts, Patterns for Evolving Frameworks
