Fundamental changes to the build process of a stable app might be not such a good idea. There are many risks of breaking things, and you introduce a barrier for people who are familiar with the current build process. > What are the benefits of doing it now? * Use Maven's dependency mechanism for our module dependencies * Get rid of our custom dependency management * Reduce the size of the repository But I agree that we should rather spend our limited resources on code that creates a direct benefit for users. -- Andreas -- Andreas Hartmann, CTO BeCompany GmbH http://www.becompany.ch Tel.: +41 (0) 43 818 57 01
