Maven and Unix
It would be great if maven was part of the solution, and wouldn't turn
into a road block. It has great potential in both directions, as far
as I can see it.
I completely agree with this. While I understand the griefs expressed in
this thread about Maven not playing nicely with the OS, I also think
that it nicely solves some other issues like dependencies. It's true
that those are also partially solved by apt, but apt is not universal,
and I suppose it has too much unix-specific parts about it to be made
universal. So it seems to me that the best would be to _improve_ Maven
so that it meets the requirements of unix-like systems. What is needed
is probably that people with an unix culture get involved in the
development of Maven.
