There's a lot more to deployment than Maven. Being able to zip up a Rails app and with a single command spit it out to your 100-server cluster is perhaps more compelling than anything Maven-related. I don't use Maven, but I know firsthand the power of EAR and WAR deployment and how easy they make app management in a typical app server. I think this is more what McGovern was getting at. >>> A more secure platform >>> > > Integrated security policies I'll grant there are.

The worst security flaws in Rails or in Ruby are yet to be discovered. -- Charles Oliver Nutter, JRuby Core Developer Blogging on Ruby and Java @ headius.blogspot.com Help spec out Ruby today! @ www.headius.com/rubyspec headius@headius.com -- charles.nutter@sun.com
