Certainly I need to sacrifice the correct binary avian to keep the dark Maven gods at bay.<br /><br />However, if the people in charge of your build system come to accept a certain limited set of all the possibilities you can get things done in a great hurry.

I think that is the biggest problem in the build universe. Most of the maven issues come down to lack of documentation on the topic of what conventions they assume.chadmichaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08377750824223681348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1383695822029623916.post-2233067075547159502012-01-13T11:39:06.561-05:002012-01-13T11:39:06.561-05:00I find it super easy to create a build with Maven ...I find it super easy to create a build with Maven and definitely easier than understanding the spaghetti of your typical Ant script. And once you have learned it once with your first Maven build you know exactly how it will behave for the next project's build.

You have to spend a whole lot of time, before you manage to tweak it in a way to get expected result - even for simple tasks. I wish somebody did it right in Java, with proper defaults and covering simple use-cases with some kind of way to also fulfill the more complex tasks.
