Hi all,

I saw an old branch with a maven pom used to build the wave libraries. I would like to know if there are plans to use Ivy or Maven for dependency management in WAIB?

I currently have a project which uses Maven and would like to use some of the GWT modules from WAIB, Currently I'm using an Ant project with an Ivy target to get our dependencies into a new WAIB based project but would like to do this the other way round and have our project use the WAIB artifacts. For this I can just install the dependencies to our maven repo but I believe it would be nice to have a Maven based build for WAIB (or something that at least install the artifacts to a repo) .

If we go with Ivy we can just setup an Ant classpath based on the dependencies (just a matter of replacing the current build-classpath.xml) and the remaining targets could stay as they are. Maven offers better integration with IDEs (at least Netbeans and IDEA) and would make it a lot easier to setup the project. Also we would get some nice reports, javadocs, etc.. and remove jars from the source repo.

Any plans/comments/suggestions on this ?

Thanks in advance.
