The problem is not so much building individual maven modules, but building them with experimental compilers. I need to be able to put a println into scalac, rebuild that (takes 10sec with fsc) and then recompile the offending maven part with that compiler. That's why I need a version of lift that can be compiled without maven. It need not be perfect, for instance one can probably throw out all the tests. But I need to be able to use lift as a rapid experimentation tool for the scala compiler itself. Unfortunately, LAMP is pretty much shutting down for the holidays right now. So any outside help that you can give is appreciated. Ideally: I get the right lift version as a tarball, together with all jars that it needs. Then, instructions what to compile in what order (I can probably figure them out in a pinch, but if someone knows that already, it would help).
