Super. A few more things... I was able to use mvn to generate my new archetype in my development dir, although it looks like ant still uses maven under the covers to fill in dependencies. Is that an accurate understanding?
Running ant, it looks like its trying to download dependent libraries (to somewhere). It looks like it uses version variables from the pom.xml properties section, but it looks like there are some missing definitions, namely commons.collections.version jmock.version junit.version spring.version I also got an error on [artifact:pom] Error downloading parent pom org.appfuse:appfuse-light::2.1-SNAPSHOT: Missing: [artifact:pom] ---------- [artifact:pom] 1) org.appfuse:appfuse-light:pom:2.1-SNAPSHOT [artifact:pom] Path to dependency: [artifact:pom] 1) unspecified:unspecified:jar:0.0 [artifact:pom] 2) org.appfuse:appfuse-light:pom:2.1-SNAPSHOT [artifact:pom] [artifact:pom] ---------- [artifact:pom] 1 required artifact is missing.

I don't see any service or DAO packages set up, nor spring application context files for those layers. Any hints? Sorry to be such a pest, but I hope to learn more about the maven stuff soon, once I get past having a working web app available to my client. Thanks again for the timely responses.
