The short answer: I've found it very difficult to maintain a Maven build system, and I would like to switch to Gradle as soon as I can. I've been working with Maven for over four years. I would call myself an expert on build systems because in the last (at least) five companies I've been in, I've done major renovations on the build/deploy infrastructure. Some of the lessons I've learned: <ul> <li>Most developers tend not to spend a lot of time thinking about build systems; as a result, the build turns into a spaghetti mess of hacks, but they do appreciate it when that mess is cleaned up and rationalized.</li> <li>In dealing with complexity, I would rather have a transparent system that exposes the complexity (like Ant) than one that tries to make complex things simple by imposing rigid restrictions, like Maven. Think of Linux vs. Windows.</li> <li>Maven has a lot of holes in functionality which require byzantine workarounds. This leads to POM files that are incomprehensible and unmaintainable.</li> <li>Ant is super-flexible and understandable, but Ant files can get pretty big too, because it's so low-level.</li> <li>For any significant project, developers have to create their own build/deploy structure beyond what the tool provides; the suitability of the structure to the project has a lot to do with how easy it is to maintain. The best tools will support you in creating a structure and not fight you.</li> </ul> I've looked into Gradle a bit and it looks like it has the potential to be the best of both worlds, allowing a mix of declarative and procedural build description.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
