So, is Maven becoming the new standard for building WebObjects
instead of Ant? From a WebObjects point of view, what advantages
does Maven have over Ant?
The announcement for Apple yesterday of a nightly build server is
interesting and welcome (and there was some serious Jig dancing going
on yesterday). BUT... those builds do NOT replace the standard release
mechanism and schedule for the WebObjects frameworks.
They give access to in-development versions of WO to enable testing
and insight into Apple directions, but it is clear that no one is
suggesting that you should be using those nightly builds for
production apps.
With that in mind, I think it is far too early to talk about a global
switch to Maven over Ant or the Maven layout over FBL for the majority
of WebObjects projects.
I am tickled pink that Apple has chosen to give us the opportunity to
see and participate in their development process, but I will be doing
a lot of thinking and investigating before I make any major changes to
they way I build/organize my projects.
