Okay, so laff all you want (har har har), I broke down and spent the last couple of days learning maven. Chad, you were right all along. :-)
I did it only because of some of the stuff that I saw Vincent Massol doing with it and some of the stuff that they are talking about with the POM being persisted into SQL. I can't believe what a drag it was to get operational for the most basic project. But it works, and I tell you, I am going to make a copy of that sukka before I add any sources to it. Anyone want a copy? (Guaranteed to deprive you of a half a day of quality time with Google...) Does anyone have a Maven plugin for AndroMDA that they could send to me or the list? Barely working is fine, mostly finished is that much better. I'll buy you beer next time we run into each other. (mmm, beer...)
