Hi all,
Am I late for the party? :)

It's still more than zero (if someone would consider this a measure at
all).
"It's not the size, it's the magic it does". :p
I think the measure is good to show that you don't have to write tons of
XML code. But show that you have to write some XML code. Fair enough.
Thirdly from what I've seen, someone needs to change all these files
whenever we bump a version. All of Ulrichs commits so far where these
xml fixes. All *I* need to do is set one property.
Wonder don't use Maven for the release process. So, we have to update
the POMs manually to reflect the version change. When Maven is used, the
release plug-in take care of the changes. You don't have to worry about
any property.
I'm reviewing the POMs of Wonder and removing some redundant data
present on child POMs (thanks Pierce for updating all the POMs). I hope
we can reduce the amount of change. Anyway, I'm not bothered of doing a
find and replace on Eclipse from '<version>4.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version>' to
'<version>5.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version>' on every POM file.
The other issues I have with it is that I actually *need* the
flexibility in deployment structure. In some projects I *don't* want
all-embedded builds as that stuff goes out of hand with 7 apps*all the
frameworks. The resulting release tops 250M. So I want some of them
embed only some jars. Show me how this works with maven *without*
writing any "goals" or "mojos".
<scope>provided</scope> as described by Lachlan. You can also use
<skipAppleProvidedFrameworks>true</skipAppleProvidedFrameworks> on
maven-wolifecycle-plugin to skip all Apple libraries in one shot.
So in summary, maven may or may not be nice. But I've been building
Wonder with the build files for 7 years now and they haven't really
changed a lot in this time. They do the roughly the same as some 20MB
tool chain where you *still* have to write java plugins for.
I hope you don't stop doing good stuff with Ant builds. If we can also
build Wonder with Maven, it is a plus.
Cheers,
Henrique
