[erlang-questions] Turning rebar into a package manager

[Matthew Evans]

We are using Maven for both java and erlang development. The erlang plugin works well, but I find Maven's "convention over configuration" painful to say the least. You want to do something slightly out of the ordinary (as is often the case with a multi language project) and your life is spent in XML hell as you are trying to work around roadblocks. A good example was getting it to spew out thrift code for both languages.

On top of that I'm personally not a fan of separating source control and package management. All you need is for someone to deploy without doing a source update and you're left trying to figure out why your build is broken.

Just my 2c...

Please follow this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_Maven
There is only one scary XML.


Best regards,Max

What do you consider good in Maven?

It is impossible to see any good things in provided links because

there are only tons of XML.
