Very off topic but lemme stick my big nose in. Happy Monday comrade :)
I empathise like a mf dude. I know a cpl devs that rely on ant rather than mvn for their build tool for this dependency stuff and with good reason. Jumpstart is an ant build funnily. When I find a recipe that works, I sit on it for a dev cycle or three or four. Create a basic project and leave it in a git branch for rebuilding in 6 months to see what breaks. When stuff doesn't break its a bonus! Software takes a lot of resources to build and maintain well. I hear there are good saunas in Russia, take an hour off and let off some steam, pardon my pun, but that's what I do here in Australia. Pro tip, fragrant water splashed on the fire works a treat. If using a cpl drops of eucalyptus, watch out for its flammability, u really want to dilute that in 2L. For hours afterwards your breath will be like an angelic koala :) Good luck with your building. I personally break my projects into ejbs, rest and web. Makes building and maintaining easier though it requires a bit more time. And I've got more time than java dependency chasing foo. Chris PS, the best programmers in the world are in Bondi beach. I should know, I look at him in the mirror from time to time ;) On 03/03/2014 12:05 pm, "nhhockeyplayer nashua" <nhhockeypla...@hotmail.com> wrote: > > > all I am after is a build tree that can be checked out, built, operated > and run as claimed... not stuck, broken, in shambles and in buildable with > a gazillion transient dependency errors and local build tree errors never > mind transient dependency errors.
