Give me a break. When I think something is categorically a bad practice then the dialog is cut short. I am not trying to win any popularity contests and I'm don't care if every single user is happy. It's just not possible. But I have taken loads of suggestions for Maven and they have found there way into Maven. But there are several issues like multiple sources directories, mixing test and application code and several other issues which I will not change my mind on. Maven is but one solution for building your project. I encourage anyone not happy with it to go find something else. I also take into consideration the number of downloads in constrast with the number of people who complain about certain limitations. I certainly don't think mixing test/application code is a good idea but I think given that I've only seen a few people want this out of the thousands that have downloaded Maven is a good indicator that most users think it's not a very good idea. I'm not a politician, I could care less if all users like me because most users are selfish and only consider their own methods and own desires when requesting features while generally never considering larger issues. As always there are the valued and treasured exceptions by users who have genuinely taken into consideration all users and the larger issues. Just because a user makes a suggestion doesn't mean it's a good one. If you're looking for grace go somewhere else. > > --------------------------------- > Do you Yahoo!? > SBC Yahoo!
