Don't get me wrong. I wasn't complaining or having a panic attack. I
just suddenly started seeing a lot of talk about Maven in the last few
days and was just wondering if that was were the community was heading
and if so what advantages there were to it.
Just curious is all.

So, is Maven becoming the new standard for building WebObjects

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.
