"The *reactor* of modules that will be built when building your project"
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
*Reactor* can mean:
In science
* Bioreactor <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioreactor>, any device or
system that supports a biologically active environment.
* Chemical reactor <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_reactor>, a
device for containing and controlling a chemical reaction
* Fusion reactor <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fusion_power>, a device
for containing and controlling a fusion power reaction
* An inductor <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inductor> (possessing
reactance <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_reactance>) in an
electrical power grid
o A line reactor <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_reactor> is
used to limit starting current of motors and to protect variable
frequency drives
* Nuclear reactor <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_reactor>, a
device for containing and controlling a nuclear reaction
* Reactor (Havok) <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reactor_%28Havok%29>,
a physics simulation engine
* The reactor pattern <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reactor_pattern>,
a design pattern used in concurrent programming
Probably needs a more detailed definition since "reactor" has many
meanings to people.
Not clear why this word was chosen or what is means in this context.
I guess that I have been building "reactors of modules" without knowing
what I am doing.
It might be helpful to mention the word "artifact".
The idea of a build producing a single artifact seems to be concept that
people miss when starting out.
You might want to label the arrows to explain the nature of the links
between the joined items.

OK, so to start working on new content I created some pages on the wiki:
The first page is a 60 seconds overview of Maven's build process
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MAVEN/Tutorial:+Maven+in+60+seconds
I am using icons because I want to have subsequent pages give more detail
and use the iconography to enable people to see what is being discussed
more easily
