Thanks for encouraging Maven2! I must say, though, that you didn't address my "Will I suffer?" question :-)
I just checked out *Maven: A Dev's Notebook* which is slightly dated and based on Maven1. Nice, fairly well-organized, spoon-fed info in that book which I hope is more or less applicable to Maven2, as well. Reading some of the user feedback on reviews about Maven2 (e.g. see http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-12-2005/jw-1205-maven-p3.html ) I thought it might be wiser if I first learnt Maven1. > .. If you want to suffer then > delve into writing Jelly plugins in Maven1. ;) Maven2 is a beautiful > thing... I'm sure it's beautiful. Really! I'm hoping not to need to write any plugins, though. I'm not a build engineer: I'll be using Maven mostly because it makes developing apps easier... So for now, as a newbie, I'll stick to Maven1 until there is better documentation out there for Maven2. I *did* try Maven2 along w/ its documentation, but for now, here's my advice to other newcomers: The path to m2 is through m1. Or ye shall suffer needlessly, as I have... :-) If I follow the *best practices*, it seems, I should be able to migrate relatively painlessly to M2. > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
