Maven?

[fsiler]

Would this project be inclined to accept PRs related to Mavenization? I'm just getting started with Java build tools and want to play with jstylo, so this seems like a worthy start. Thanks for any advice.

Hi, Frank. Thank you for the interest and offer of help.

I do want to let you know that Mavenising JGAAP would not help jStylo. They depend on the version 5 line of JGAAP and have modified it internally. JGAAP's internal API has changed significantly in since that time to allow the use of multiple EventDrivers each with their own Canonicizers and Cullers. I'm not sure if the psal at Drexel has ever published the modified source of JGAAP but that is what you would want to get up on Maven to simply the build process.

If you are still interested in helping us by updating JGAAP to use Maven, we would be happy to review any pull request.

Just to let you know the biggest thing holding back a proper 7.0 release of JGAAP is UI work if you're interested in that.

Best,
Mike

Sure, jstylo needs some work in other areas- for one, using reflection would be nice :). Let me dig in a bit and see where the pain comes up, and hopefully I can send a couple useful patches your way. Many thanks.
