Great stuff! I was just thinking yesterday of how it'd be nice to be able to
easily instantiate objects (like java.io.File instances) easily from <j:new>
or <j:useBean/>

Right now just mailing maven-dev will do the trick. I've just updated it.
Essentially any repository administrator can just do
maven jar:deploy-snapshot
Though I really hope that one day really soon all maven-ized projects at
Jakarta will be built nightly, have a nightly distribution put in a
canonical place and the jar added to the repository.

The snapshot is updated now, so maven builds will just pick up the new
version.

Wanna try it again with CVS HEAD? I found that having the
maven.junit.fork=true, which is now in project.properties, fixed this
class-loading issue. Lemme know if its still broken for you.
Thanks for a great patch Rod - I'll be using this very soon!
