Jason,
thank you for that concise information. It would be great if you could also publish a quarterly sampled line graph on the same stats, so one could easily identify and trends in this. :-) Regards Markus From: Jason van Zyl [mailto:ja...@tesla.io] Sent: Donnerstag, 27. September 2012 20:03 To: Maven Users List Subject: Maven is in no danger of being replaced :-) I was curious to see what the breakdown is of Maven, Ivy and Gradle use so I took the block of traffic from last week and filtered down the unique IPs per tool across its versions. If you want to take a look at the data pulled you can see it here: https://gist.github.com/3794963 I used easily identifiable user agents. As Dan Kulp pointed out in IRC many versions of Maven 2.0.x are not accounted for because we never specified a user agent. So if anything, Maven's portion of the pie is bigger. Older versions of Gradle used Ivy, and older versions of Ivy also didn't identify itself correctly. Let's just say it all comes out in the wash and this is what we're left with. This is only traffic against Maven Central so it's hard to tell what's behind repository managers. But I think this is fairly representative. So as far as I can tell empirically from data gathered from the logs in Maven Central, Maven is in no danger of being replaced anytime soon. I believe that the Aether Ant tasks will ultimately replace Ivy in Ant builds, and Gradle has been around for 5 years (give or take) and it's not really making much of a dent. 00000952.png Thanks, Jason ---------------------------------------------------------- Jason van Zyl Founder & CTO, Sonatype Founder, Apache Maven http://twitter.com/jvanzyl --------------------------------------------------------- happiness is like a butterfly: the more you chase it, the more it will elude you, but if you turn your attention to other things, it will come and sit softly on your shoulder ... -- Thoreau
