Please reconsider switching to Maven 2

[Jochen Wiedmann <jo...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

now that Axis2 1.1 is out, I'd like to ask the commons projects to
reconsider switching to Maven 2 as a build system. The rationale is as
follows:

  - AFAIK, the current Maven 1 build scripts do nothing that cannot be done with
    the Maven 2 build scripts. If there are any issues, please let me know.
  - Maven 2 builds are typically faster, so developers should be enjoying it.
  - Maintaining the Maven 2 build scripts and deploying a Maven 1
build to a Maven 2
    repository is causing me a lot of work.
  - On the other hand, deploying a Maven 2 build to a Maven 1
repository can easily
    be automated.

Thanks,

Jochen

+1! It would be great if it happens.

It also caused me a lot of troubles to keep up with the transitive 
dependencies from axis2 because without maven2 I had to maintain the list 
manually in our pom.xml.

Thanks,
Raymond
