TDK with Maven?

[Mathieu Frenette <ma...@freeborders.com>]

Hi all,

We are presently considering moving our Struts/jsp codebase to
Turbine/Velocity (in fact, I am making the pressure on my manager! ;-)  So
I'm currently looking into the TDK (2.1 and 2.2b1) but I was a little
disappointed to realize that it was not using Maven.  Is that right?  If so,
is the integration planned for anytime soon?  Otherwise, should I rather go
with plain Turbine instead of the TDK?

TIA

Mathieu, what Eric says is true.  However, from what I've seen so far,
_you_ would have a good chance at getting Turbine going without the
TDK.  Note that this requires a fairly significant initial time
investment, but for medium to large applications pays off.

One of the goals for Maven is to get the TDK build mavenized.  But the 
TDK has a pretty complex build process.  At the moment only two 
developers are trusted with the creation of the TDK.  I suspect it will 
be a little while before TDK is building with Maven.  Nevertheless, the 
TDK is still the best way to get started with Turbine.

Hope that helps.
