Maven is constructed in a highly modular fashion, requiring lots of different, small, focused Java libraries. Would you post about basic learning? It’s make me confused.

But imho the dependency management is one of the best and worst features at the same time. You also got me wrong on the dependency management thing. I don't want users of my project to install all the dependencies by hand (e.g. mvn-get install wicket) before they are able to use my stuff. That's only the way to add dependencies to the POM instead of doing plain XML without knowing what is done (So you'd be able to check those changens into your repository and all others could get them from there). I'd also like to be able to search repositories and inspect packages using the same tools I use to manage those dependencies. And the hibernate vs. JDO thing is simple. I didn't add them myself. But such things are likely to happen with transient dependencies. However, I'd also say, that this isn't always the problem of Maven itself as there are for instance some artifacts out there, that depend on JUnit without specifying a scope (which adds Junit to your war for instance). @Quintesse First of all: I know that maven isn’t a package/dependency manager but a build tool.

I merely observed from my Java/maven experiences that the grass is definitely not greener on other pastures. It is comforting to know that. Jeez. Not sure why you feel so threatened or attacked.
