Yeah, it's worth saying that you don't want to 'switch' blindly.
I spent a few months reading and kicking the tyres. It's one of
those things you really need to read up on to see if it works for
you.
And yes, you want to:
a) lock down your versions
b) put 3rd party dependencies into your shared repo so you know
they're always available.
How is that different from putting the jars in svn or in a
framework in svn (or your source control of choice)? If you are
going to make local copies (and I do), then as simple a format as
possible makes sense to me.
I confess this is something that initially frustrated me with
maven. It is possible to put keep them with your framework (as a
custom repo with a file path). It's just discouraged.
My question was more of this: I already keep my dependancies (as
deployed) in svn. So I don't have any fear of them being unavailable
in the future. Given that (and that I am comfortable with the
implications of that as I understand them), what advantages does
Maven offer me. I am willing to be convinced. I just don't "get"
Maven yet. And I have had a few, er, run ins with it. What am I
missing?
