Buildr as a replacement for Maven
Assaf Arkin blogs about how his team finally gave up on Maven and replaced it with Buildr, a build tool written in Ruby and based on Rake. It’s a little unfortunate that they chose a name so close to Jim Weirich’s Builder, but what can you say or do? At any rate, it’s comforting to hear that I’m not the only one who’s looked at Maven and thought to myself that it’s an incredibly overengineered solution for the problem that it’s trying to solve.
