Re maven: There is a wiki page describing the Maven dependencies; somebody needs to tackle this. If you want to volunteer, we'd love to hear your proposal. However, please remember that you really must be sure to retain the connector conditional compilation structure as is currently in place, for license reasons.
Re unit tests: The Junit test code was actually placed carefully based on the above considerations. In other words, you can't run a test that requires connectors x,y,z unless those connectors have actually been built. Similarly, you may think in terms of testing a specific connector by including tests for that connector, but those tests cannot use any OTHER connectors or you will break the build, which is why any tests that use multiple connectors must be at the module level.

Is there is good reason that we do not use something like maven. Or at least, if you do not like maven, ivy to share dependencies between projects. Also enforces you to use libraries that are generally available. I would also love to have the (unit)tests closer to the actual code, hard to locate the tests at the moment Would like to hear the thoughts of the developers regards -- Jettro Coenradie http://www.gridshore.nl
