[ge-talk] upgrades

[Fredrik Holmqvist]

I really like how Maven works with dependencies. Maven is a tool for
building and managing any Java-based project. http://maven.apache.org/

You setup a project  thru an xml-doc that lists all needed to build and run
the project. You give the project a unique id (groupid, artifactid, version,
type). You also specify dependencies (groupid, artifactid and version
usually) so that maven  knows what dependencies to fetch and use.

When you do a release of your project it gets uploaded to a repository ( see
http://mirrors.ibiblio.org/pub/mirrors/maven2/ ) where it can be fetched by
other projects that has dependencies to it.

It also generates reports and project-pages, cross-refs and a lot more, but
it's automatic deps handling makes it easy to start working on any project
(even a project you never touched for three years) in just a minute or two.

Just providing some inspiration...

Chaordic: things that thrive on the edge of chaos with just enough order to
give them pattern, but not so much to slow their adaptation and learning.
