I'm seeing a little problem in compiling now that only bites when working through my IDE, but I still think it deserves a resolution:
core uses commons-lang 2.4. core also depends on collections-codegen-plugin, which depends on velocity 1.5, which depends on commons-lang 2.1. My IDE takes 2.1 somehow and fails though the main build doesn't seem to mind. Is there a way to tell Maven, somehow, to definitely use 2.4? because I believe velocity would work with that too. Alternatively it's just a little surgery to make us compatible back to 2.1, but, would rather not do so I guess in principle.
