please check the trunk preferably by building and checking the

I did a clean checkout and everything builds like it should.
Doing this required me (the builder) to create a copy of
build.properties.sample. This file has as its default location for jars
lib/... Faced with the task of setting things up for the first time I
had an idea. The building instructions says to first run 'maven site'
and then 'ant dist'. How about using the users local Maven repository as
default values for the jars?
log4j12.jar=lib/log4j-1.2.12.jar
would become
log4j12.jar=${user.home}/.maven/repository/log4j/jars/log4j-1.2.12.jar
If the user has Maven installed and he or she runs 'maven site' before
running Ant, then all the jars would get downloaded automatically. The
builder simply has to copy build.properties.sample to build.properties
and be done with it.
If the user doesn't have Maven or doesn't run 'maven site' before
running Ant he or she will have to download every jar manually anyway
and change the values in build.properties accordingly.
Just a thought...
