Our maven integration has not been the most fluent thing we ever did, but we now seem to have gained some traction in the right direction (thanks to community hints, some solid teamwork and hours of additional brain-storming). Here is a quick update on where we are:

• Upload to maven central is working but not yet optimal (we're working on that).
• Meanwhile, we're also re-evaluating our entire build environment to optimize for maven builds (i.e., switching from ant to maven entirely).
• We're also restructuring our SVN repository so it has optimal support for our business model.

As you can see, we're not afraid to throw away anything in our quest to improve things Contrary to what I expected, going from ant to maven seems to simplify our build after all: maven seems to be maturing, and new team members tend to know maven better than ant.

All these changes have quite some impact on the architecture of our build ecosystem, so we can't just do them overnight. However, we would like to have them ready before we bring out the next major new release(s).

Thank you for your patience!

We had scheduled automatic synching with Maven's central repository for our 3.6 release but so far we didn't manage to get it to work. The reasons for this are mainly technical ones at the level of the synchronization protocol (rsync) and security requirements.

Anyway, we are still looking for a good way to do this so we haven't given up yet. It's just a bit more complex than we hoped for.

All feedback is welcome!

If you have been here recently then you will know already: our new site is finally online, live for everyone!

The intent was to revamp our site into a place that perfectly aligns with both our community and our business goals, and I think we have succeeded at doing so - but I will let you be the judge of that.

Thanks to everybody in the team for making this possible. To all our visitors I would say: enjoy!

It has been taking months since we started it, but our new website will be online very soon now. We are currently doing the last bits of work to get it ready…

What makes our new site interesting is our geographically dispersed team that has been working on it:

• The content and PDF goodies were written in Canada
• The overall site design was done in Belgium
• The content management support - a wiki platform - was (and still is) being done in Germany

From the inception to the finish, this has been a great deal of fun (and work!) and it is a very exciting way of doing things! This is yet another example of how far you can get with a work tracker (like fogbugz), a wiki and skype;-)
