Oh...beautiful.  And you're right, the eclipse projects do actually work out
of the box.

As for moving to buildr, what I ran into is:
- After installing builr using "gem install buildr" it installed buildr
version 1.1.2.  But when I ran "rake package" in the Ode trunk it said
something about a wrong version and I had to change my local Rakefile to say
"   gem "buildr", "1.1.2"   ".  Which probably isn't the right approach but
it's working for the moment.
- When tyring to build, tests failed and I had to dig for a while to find
out about "test=off"
- It wasn't clear that "rake eclipse" was available, nor that it's output
was better than the Maven approach. That could be used as a selling point.

Overall it was fairly painless and it does seem faster.  I would suggest
putting notes about some of the above items right on the "Building Ode"
page.  They might ease the transition for others.

Simply run "rake eclipse" from the trunk's root.   Bonus:  it generates
Eclipse projects that are ready to use.  No more manual tweaking for the
generated classes.

BTW, if you have/had any pain transitioning to buildr, we'd love to hear
about it!
