I think - yes. See spring and hibernate docs - all thing in one long document (which may be browsed chapter by chapter but also downloaded and printed as PDF). I'm sure many users will say 'those examples are bad because of...' but I think this would be better for maven to have one document describing things from pom structure and standard directory layout to use cases of (for example) ear plugin Maybe some very magic scrips merging together guides from current main maven site and plugin documentations? I know that ability to make good things with plugins (== some kind of modularity of maven architecture) is a GOOD thing but without a good understanding it's hard to where to find out an info about some basic thing. Example - please, try to find out how to skip executing of tests during build starting from http://maven.apache.org Regards, Tomek --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
