> the maven stuff in 3.x/trunk is actually pretty good I've heard that about every release of Maven, and any time I've tried to use it, it doesn't quite work as expected, and given what it does should be fairly trivial, the fact that there bugs/issues, and it's been released to me has meant I don't want to use it. It's like a toaster that also plays videos, I just want a toaster, thanks.
