I think Maven's trying to solve 100% of the problem and they get
where they are. All I really want is my ant build file to build or
download dependencies first. I would say I basically want Ivy,
except that kind of pisses me off, too.
As you said, if you only want the dependency management stuff, you
don't need Maven. You want Ivy or Maven Ant Tasks [2].
The Maven dependency management mechanism really shines. But Maven
goes beyond that.
Then I'm just not sure what problems people are solving with Maven
that I'm apparently just not having, or not realizing that I have. I
can fully appreciate a nice dependency management system. It's
something ant doesn't cover (directly), and it would be nice to have,
though I think this is solvable with less than full-on Maven, as you
seem to agree with. Beyond that, though, things seem to ... pretty
much just work for me ... with one less big book in my life :) And
maybe this is just the root of the problem -- I'm clearly not feeling
a pain that you guys must be, enough to make you learn Maven. I don't
have enough pain to get me through the Overview of Lifecycle page :)
Anyway. I'm TRYING not to hate, but I am just not feeling it.
As Pascal said to Chuck, maybe I can change your mind at WOWODC. ;)
I'm certainly open to it.
