That's what I thought (though didn't get the classpath bit or the
difference between id and alias - I'm not very gump literate at this
point). Like I said, I think the role belongs the other way around
which I think is what you are getting at next.

Likewise - running "maven gump" would be ideal if it always generated
exactly what was needed. I don't know how much extra gump stuff is
really needed in there.

"maven gump" from each project will generate a standard descriptor. I
haven't done much with this output, but happy to take on any requests
:)

This could be true - so probably a long term goal to unify all the
types of build types. I think we probably need to get a bit more
experience building these different projects as they are before
venturing into unchartered territory.

This is all just my opinion from a distance of course as a Maven
user/developer. As I said, I'm not familiar enough with gump internals
to comment on a lot of things.

Cheers,
Brett
