[jira] [Comment Edited] (MNGSITE-401) WTF is a "software project management and comprehension tool"?

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNGSITE-401?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17072086#comment-17072086 ]

It is actually not quite a build management tool. In contrast to Ant, Make, etc. You don't configure the build. It works inherently due to convention over configuration.

> This phrase, which we use in many places and which is copied and pasted into a lot of third party content, is meaning-free technobabble. I use it as an example of bad writing in my Tech Writing for Developers Course. 
> Let's replace it. I suggest "build management tool for Java".
