These are issues we are trying to deal with in general. There is a
mailing where these issues can be discussed:
http://jakarta.apache.org/turbine/maven/mail-lists.html
We are working on a Java equivalent of CPAN. I have contacted some of
the CPAN fellows and we are going to try and setup a global repository
of Java released JARs, development snapshot JARs and distributions.
We have yet to work out all the details but many projects have started
developing with Maven and we hope that it will take off because it makes
developing easier.
The Maven build and the existing OJB build can live side by side so that
people can continue to use the existing build system if they wish. Maven
is stable and works but we are just about to release a b3 so there are
some issues to work out. Most of these are not technical issues but more
process issues so all feedback is welcome.
For now the only repository for JARs is at Jakarta which shouldn't be a
problem for OSS projects but we are working out the details of for
development teams that work in closed environments. I'm working on this
with David Peugh who is the author of quilt, (quilt.sourceforge.net) a
test coverage tool that will be integrated with Maven, and is working on
several projects (14) at DARPA that are using Maven so we need to work
this out.
I encourage anyone interested to join the Maven mailing lists and get
involved. If Maven improves and many people use Maven then development
processes (building, testing, CI, documentation) should become easier to
manage and we can make our projects better.
