[Axis2] Shall we adopt maven2 ?
Hi all,
I've been doing some work in the ws commons project and noticed that
they are using maven2. So this flared up a thought whether we should
upgrade to maven2 too. it seems that maven1 and maven2 can be
supported simultaneously but we may have a issue with inconsistancies
in maintaining two build systems.
So what do you all think? maven2 seems to be quite stable and it's
been around for quite a while.

If it made our life easier, or made it faster to get this done or
improves the quality of what we're building, I'd +1 it in a jiffy. I
don't see Maven2 doing any of those for us at this point.

+1; amen.

Ok I don't want to drag this on but It seems you didn't get the hint
at all :). What I tried to express was the idea that when things
change, people (at least most of them) want to go with the latest tech
thing, even when the old thing is perfectly functional.
Let's not pull this out again till the 1.0 release is done.

Do you see maven1 vs maven2 as PI vs PIV ? ohh, noooooo.
Good you didn't mention this in maven list ;-)
Anyway, good that you, the initiator, also have agreed to postpone this.

Well no!

Well let me see... I have a P1 about 5 years old which is perfectly
functional but I don't use it anymore. I can if I want to but it's not
upto the job :). guess you got the hint;)

I'm +1 on this. I hoped that moving to m2 would be clear sailing
without any glitches but the geronimo example is an eye opener. It may
become a major surgery which is not at all feasible at this time.

agreed. Infact I've converted (atleast adopted) some of the WS-commons
things to maven 1 too.

Sorry, I didn't see this mail earlier.
This was one of the great things if we can do. I posted some notes about
this sometime back, from the things I learnt from Maven gurus during
last ApacheCon, and I wonder why no one answered earlier. ;-)
Anyway, maven2 provides us with very good capabilities that we lie to
have, like improved multi module support. But:
1. Do we have a major bottleneck with maven 1.x, that we are using
now ? I don't see any of them.
2. Do we need to move in to the latest one, all the times ? I hope
not. Simple example is when Intel released 3.2GHz processor, shall
I throw away my 2.4GHz processor, which is working fine for my work ??
3. We have come very much closer to Axis2 1.0. I hope we have very
high priority items than moving in to maven2. If you want, I can
name bunch of items which are very much important than this.
In a way, for me, this is a nice to have thing. But not necessarily.
Due to above reasons, I prefer, like others, for this to be done, after 1.0.

+1 to AFTER 1.0. Note that Geronimo still has not moved over
completely due to problems in m2.

I'd rather do this after we do 1.0 ...
