Well, it could also be argued that one of the benefits of using Maven is that it's easier to setup additional distributions. :)
There is something to be said for the idea of having a core distribution with a minimum number of dependencies, and an optional distribution with additional dependencies for things like a BSF and JXPath validator. Let me see if I can get a 1.1.3 core release out, and then we could see about a companion 1.13 opt release. -Ted.
