09:27 aditsu rats, why is everybody using maven? >_<
09:29 aditsu not just for building, but for publishing stuff too
10:17 pulsar wut?
10:17 pulsar not pushing / deploying into a repo but actual publishing stuff?
10:33 aditsu I mean making libraries available for others to use
10:44 pulsar so, publishing them into nexus/artifactory/etc. right?
10:44 pulsar https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-deploy-plugin/deploy-mojo.html
11:36 pdurbin aditsu: you object to being able to find stuff in one place? http://search.maven.org
12:29 pulsar not sure if this is really what aditsu complains about
12:33 aditsu well, some things are available *only* in maven and nowhere else (horrible!), and others just won't stop talking about maven even when downloadable from the original site: https://code.google.com/p/atinject/downloads/list
12:35 aditsu I strongly object to being forced to use maven
12:37 pulsar aditsu: so recommending to use a self-hosted maven "proxy"/repository such as nexus is not something you want to hear, right?
12:38 pulsar after being in the ant / lib/* dependency hell for a couple of years, i do not want to go back. EVER.
12:38 pulsar not to mention the abominations i have seen called "ant build scripts"
12:39 aditsu that's still maven, I just want some simple download links from the project site, so I can put them in my ivy repository
12:41 aditsu nothing wrong with ant build scripts, but some people apparently like to turn them into terabytes of gibberish for some inexplicable reason
12:43 aditsu those pom.xml things are much greater abominations :p
12:49 pulsar depends how you beat it up
12:49 pulsar if you use maven for one thing only - build simple jar/war/ears
12:50 pulsar and not start using some crazy overlays and custom plugins - works very well
12:50 pulsar and if your usecases are not simple, other build plans / tools for that
