Hi to all, some time ago we had some discussions about moving Pivot builds to Maven. Last year I had a prototype of this, but was rejected because we have not seen enough advantages, for many reasons (many are reported here by Dirk), so Ant is enough (Pivot doesn't have external dependencies, many tests are user-driven tests, etc).
But ... this doesn't mean that we aren't maven-compatible. We've done some work to publish pivot artifacts to the central Maven repository (starting for 1.4), and for the 1.5 we are improving this, for example take a look at PIVOT-383 ( https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIVOT-383 ) , I've attached a patch for our build.xml to generate pivot sources artifacts compatible with maven, and I'm waiting for other developers (I think Todd in this case) to validate this and complete the task modifying the script for deploying them to the central repository. And other small improvements for problems I've found working on simple projects done via maven ... I understand that this is not a full-y mavenized approach, but I think it's a start. And last, in next weeks I'll publish some simple examples (but outside trunk), many of them mavenized. So, anyone interested to collaborate with us is welcome. Last: Dirk, many thanks for your help (suggestions, fixes, etc) ...
