Cool! That's what I was fighting for (specially with trygvis ;)) for couple of months. Definitly this makes implementation simpler and more consistent. Actually it is rather neccesery to change it to make implementation at all possible. The last thing about repository layout, which I don't really like is the way the groupId is specified. michal
