Re: [andmore-dev] Android for Maven Eclipse going UNMAINTAINED
Well, you also have to look at what is being used out in the field as well.

1.  Gradle is top priority as that is what the AOSP is using and what Android Studio is using.  However....
2.  In the field, both Gradle and Maven are being used.  In fact the current client I have is a Maven shop, so they went with Maven for their Android builds as well.  Maven supports AARs already and we can do similar things that we do with gradle, allow Maven to build artifacts when necessary, we just have to make the new build system flexible enough to handle it on the Andmore side.
3.  IntelliJ Community edition... supports both Gradle and Maven.

Enterprise customers are using both, and if we can support both going forward we should.   Ricardo did a lot of work on M2E-Android, and I'd personally hate to see it die away, but I also know resources are constrained on the project.

I actually wanted to bring M2E-Android over to Andmore when I brought the rest of ADT it would have been an easier way to get the configuration plugin out to more people.

Anyways, it is up to Ricardo if he wants to contribute the plugin or not, I've got a clone of the repository already, it'll just be much easier to bring it over sooner rather than later if any IP issues or concerns arise.

It's pretty clear the future of Android is Gradle. I really appreciate your efforts to get m2e working for Android projects. Unless we have someone contributing to Andmore who wants to take it further, I don't think it's worth that effort. But that's just my thoughts.

What does it mean to donate the code? How much work is that?
