- chuckadams 2y agoThere was a great maven blog back in the day, called “hardcore pom”
- Someone 2y agohttps://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-the-pom.html https://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to... avoids lower-casing POM as much as possible for a reason, I think. I do wonder whether that potential keming issue is accidental or a joke. Does anybody here know?
- Kwpolska 2y agoTIL it stands for "Project Object Model". It sounds like a backronym or made-up name to me.
- perching_aix 2y ago> made-up name Are there any non-made-up terms? :)
- stavros 2y agoOnomatopoeias.
- perching_aix 2y agoHmm, that's a good one. Although since they're different for every language, I'd argue they still capture the inherent made-upness of language.
