最近重新整理開發環境,上Ivy的網站看了看,才知道Ivy項目已經在去年底加入了Apache孵化器,這個消息讓我們最值得期待看看的就是Ivy會為Ant和Maven帶來什么樣的改變,Ivy本身又會如何發展?
Ivy 開發者給出了加入Apache的四個主要原因,如果是按重要性先后順序排列的話,倒是很有意思:
The maintainers of Ivy are interested in joining the Apache Software Foundation for several reasons:
Ivy has been hosted since its beginning in 2004 by a private company, which make people feel like it's a corporate product, thus slowing the contribution by the community. We strongly believe in the open source movement, and would like to make Ivy independent from Jayasoft.?
???????? Ivy項目自從2004年啟動以來就一直放在私人公司的站點上,這使得人們感覺它像一個商業產品,阻礙了社區的交流和發揮。我們對開源運動有強烈的信仰,并且十分愿意讓Ivy項目從 Jayasoft獨立出來。
We'd like to enjoy the benefits of utilizing Apache's infrastructure and legal protection.
It might open the door for cooperation with other projects, such as Ant or Maven.
We strongly believe in Apache philosophy, especially Meritocracy.
