Insomnia

For one of our projects, the customer insisted we use Maven as our build system. At first, I thought that this was a good idea. I had read about this tool but I had never used it in a real project.

The system is easy to install and is actually pretty good at building the software. There are plugins to tie-in with pretty much all the development tools in our toolbox.

As the project progresses, I have a constant doubt in my head about Maven. About the effect it has on the project and our ability to create a stable cutoff of the code for our customer when it is time to deliver.

Then I read this post in Charles Miller's blog. That pretty much gave me the words to express my concerns.
