Thanks a lot Francis, I have submitted all my recent changes and I have no local changes left. Matt and Manuel should not have local changes as far as I know.
There is one JIRA task still open from Jörg (EMPIREDB-27). Jörg can you please tell us whether or not you are currently working on this issue? I have created a new JIRA-Task for the MAVEN support. See https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/EMPIREDB-29 Please use EMPIREDB-29 in your comment when you check in modified files.
