Are you talking about a single repository (ie with a single root URL)? I'm not surprised that many companies have a variety of repositories with different meta-data formats. The question is that if we have a defined Maven repository, should we magically work if a pom file is missing (or maybe misnamed) for a module? I'm also talking about what the default behaviour should be: should we default to being lax and slower, or strict and faster and tell people to switch on a flag for "lax mode"? Thanks for the input. It's good to get feedback from a variety of organisations. -- Darrell (Daz) DeBoer Principal Engineer, Gradleware http://www.gradleware.com
