Hi I would like a chapter talking about some cool plugins for example maven reactor, I think is an unvaluable tool when we need to deal with really complex multi-module projects, I would also like to see the use of maven release and maven scm, best practices for using them

The book is looking execellent

Cheers

In my opinion it's all about the complexity of your builds. Where I work, we have a ludicrous number of builds, many of which share sub modules with other builds. Managing our dependencies, both internal and third party, would be a nightmare without Maven.

So, I think what you say is true for simple projects with minimal complexity and dependencies, but beyond that, Maven is a clear win. Take a look at some of the open source projects using it and I think you'll see what I mean. – Chris Patti, on September 26, 2008 18:49
