You are asking them to do more work. For what value? You keep repeatedly using the "maven" word, and don't seem to care that not everyone cares about maven. They already have users, and they didn't have to mess with maven to get them. If I were publishing a nice, simple, but useful utility jar, I certainly would not be using maven. And the only POM I'd be interested in would be http://www.pomwonderful.com/, and it doesn't use XML. --- Noel
